 rs thomas 


from across the border of his grave

his arrows pierce my heart

from across the fields of his thoughts

he opens up to me through a creaky gate

brushed with stars he said that tree was

as i simply sit under it in wonder 

and wander longingly through his words 

mister wonderful such an empty sobriquet 

i think he would entreat 

for it is by the pulling of the weave

that the tapestry yields its golden threads

as the saga unfolds from his limited time

it starts to rain and the wind picks us up

again his grave overflows as it will

in perpetuity is a comfortable phrase
