RS Thomas’s white washed cottage
the white washed words
that slipped a finger pointing out
how god could have written it
but passed the understanding
to the wind’s night
to the tree’s cold root-stone
when the silence spoke
his pen whistled
now and then a word spun
and he smiled a frown
and wrote it down
for us in black on white
leaving the gate swinging
