Lest every eye should look and see

The answer to its life as he,

When the flesh prizes are all lost

In that white second of the ghost

Who grasps his world of loneliness

Sliding into empty space:

I gather all my life and pour

Out its love and comfort here.

To populate his loneliness,

And to bring his ghost release,

My love and pity shall not cease

For a lifetime at least.

A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map

A stopwatch and an ordnance map.

At five a man fell to the ground

And the watch flew off his wrist

Like a moon struck from the earth

Marking a blank time that stares

On the tides of change beneath.

All under the olive trees.
