RS Thomas

 RS Thomas


taking the words and burnishing them

returning them as carefully as stones

banging hymn books together 

praising the dust

the golden spines of thought 

we follow in the lee of

his duffle-coated eye

where is the wind coming from 

has it shape-shifted the scene 

stand still

he is turning around to look at you

piercingly past you 

where has your eye been all these years 

your prodigal ear

follow
