I.
Where factories
are washed into the earth,
the old mill in the thrutch
over-run by rolling rapids,
white waters stir
in a wind-swept cauldron.
A voice between drops of water,
lichen and rocks
offers a glimpse
of another piece of world;
a handful of light,
sarcophagus and broken chair,
scattered flowers
offerings of souls
worshipful in a shared space,
remains of fairies and giants.
II.
When I think I have left
the voice calls me back
to speak my testimony
in that memory-place
cleft between dripping water,
rocks and lichen:
the fairies chapel
I will make my home.
