RICHARD LONG’S BUZZARD

From high soaring on thermals

The tame buzzard lays a flight path

Straight down through the paddock

To the bare oak:

This shallow trench line

Filled with Norfolk flint –

Shards, knuckles, yellow-white bones,

What remains of us.

TONY CURTIS

ON SEEING A CHRISTIAN GARDENER AT EIGHTY

Three days to Christmas – a mild

Bright westerly morning.

He is on his spry old knees

Preparing a spring bed,

A kind of active prayer,

His manger for the child.

And time may give him warning

That soon he will not be there;

He will not heed.

Beliefs can coalesce

In star and seed to wake

The living and the dead;

My unbeliever’s eye

Beholds a practical

Reverence all can share

In face of a miracle.

PATRIC DICKINSON
