[ IV ]
From a confessional
The voice of Father Mat’s absolving
Rises and falls like a briar in the breeze.
As the sins pour in the old priest is thinking
His fields of fresh grass, his horses, his cows,
His earth into the fires of Purgatory.
It cools his mind.
‘They confess to the fields,’ he mused,
‘They confess to the fields and the air and the sky,’
And forgiveness was the soft grass of his meadow by the river;
His thoughts were walking through it now.
His human lips talked on:
‘My son,
Only the poor in spirit shall wear the crown;
Those down
Can creep in the low door
On to Heaven’s floor.’
