somewhere in an english church

  



somewhere in an english church
in silence
passing through
colours
and candles
and lights
and flowers
and pipes
 
somewhere in an english church
in silence
passing through
the black monks
and the high  
and the mighty
and the lowly
and the dead
 
 
somewhere in an english church

the hanging trees



the hanging trees
gather|
to greet the mourning sun

shrouded in mist
they rear up from the gloom

blackened and ancient
they await the return
of the black-cowled monks
