R S Thomas

 R S Thomas


and his people are transcribed

in a moment on the tides of a page

in the ebb and flow of our passing

they are the rock’s barnacles

responding to a soft touch yet 

ready to tear the flesh 

off an unguarded step

hard may be the fall of an idea

into the depths of our undoing
