A BLACKBIRD SINGING

THE BRIGHT FIELD

THE HILL FARMER SPEAKS

WELSH LANDSCAPE

HE RATIONED HIS INTAKE

AGH!' I THOUGHT, 'ONE OF JAMES' WOMEN

AS BUBBLES ' ONE SAID

NOT DONE YET,' MUTTERS

BOUGH OF LAND BETWEEN SEA AND SKY

PRIEST HAS TWO GARDENS

PRIEST'S WORK IS NOT ALL STEWARDSHIP

SCRUBBED DOORSTEP, CLEAN ENOUGH TO BE DEFILED BY THE DAY'S

WILL OF IRON, PERFORATED

ACCOUNT IN PAINT

OBSESSION WITH NOTHING

AND BEYOND THOSE SILK

AND STILL IT GOES ON

AND THIS LITTLE FINGER SAYS

AND THIS ONE SAYS TO ME

AND THIS ONE WITH HIS STARCHED LIP

AND THIS ONE WRITES AND HE KNOWS

AND WHAT IS LIFE?

ARE YOU COMING WITH US?

AROUND YOU THE BUNCHED SOIL

AS THOUGH WAR WERE CRICKET MATCHES AND JAM TARTS

AT THE GRAVE'S HEAD

BECAUSE COLERIDGE HAD SAID

BOTH FEMALE. BOTH LURING US ON

BOTH WINDOW AND MIRROR

BUT LIFE IN THE REMOTEST BACKWATER

BUT THE SILENCE IN THE MIND

COME CLOSE. LET ME WHISPER

CONVERSATION, SOLILOQUY

ENTERED FOR LIFE, FAILING

FACES LOOKED UP AT THE PULPIT

FLEEING FOR PROTECTION

FOR SOME THERE IS NO FUTURE

FROM A PARSONAGE TO A COTTAGE

FROM MEDITATION ON A FLOWER

GATHERING MUSHROOMS BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

GOD SMILED. THE CONTROLS

GOD'S FOOL, GOD'S JESTER

HE ATONES NOT WITH BLOOD

HE WAS SOMETIMES A BAD BOY

HEAR ME. THE HANDS

HERE EVERYTHING HAPPENS

HOW FAR CAN ONE TRUST AUTUMN THOUGHTS?

HOW GOOD OF YOU TO COME!

I HAVE BEEN STUDENT OF YOUR LOVE

I HAVE WAITED FOR HIM

I KNOW FAIR DAYS

I LOOK OUT OVER THE TIMELESS SEA

I SAW THE LAND AND IT WAS NOT

I THINK THAT MAYBE

I WANT...HELP ME. LISTEN...I

I WAS VICAR OF LARGE THINGS

IF HE HAD NOT GIVEN THEM STONE

IN NEED OF SALVATION, YET NOT WANTING TO BE MADE

IN THE COUNTRY HOUSE

IN THE ORDER OF THINGS CHILDREN BID FAREWELL

IN TIME'S TELESCOPE

IT IS ALWAYS AT HAND

IT IS ONE OF THOSE FACES

IT WAS A DRENCHED FACE

IT WAS A TIME WHEN SPARROWS

IT WAS ARRANGED SO

LORD OF THE MOLECULE AND THE ATOM

MADNESS? ITS POWER

MAKE MY VOICE SHARP

MEMENTO MORI! BUT HE WAS YOUNG FOR DEATH

MEN GO TO THE POLL

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I POINT MY HANDS

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

NO MUSCLE. ALL LEGS

NO, IN THE BEGINNING WAS SILENCE

NOT FROM CONCEIT CERTAINLY

NOT THE EMPTY TOMB

NOT WITHOUT A STRUGGLE

OF COURSE THERE WAS NO SERPENT

ON AN EVENING LIKE THIS

ON THE THRESHOLD OF MIDDLE AGE

ONE HEADLAND LOOKS AT ANOTHER HEADLAND

OTHER INCARNATIONS, OF COURSE

OTHERS WERE BRAVE

OUR LITTLE BOY HE PAINT A TREE

REVISION WAS IN THE AIR

RUMOURS OF BESTIALITY

SALVING HIS CONSCIENCE IN THE FACE OF THE GOSPEL'S

SHE CAME TO US WITH HER APPEAL

SO HE WAS ORDAINED TO CONDUCT DEATH

SPUN SEAS, CLEARER THAN MY THOUGHTS

THAT WAS LIFE'S MISCHIEF

BODY IS MINE AND THE SOUL IS MINE

BREAKING OF THE WAVE

BUILDING TOWERED ABOVE THE TOWN

CHILD GROWING IMPERCEPTIBLY INTO A BOY

CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN

CHURCH IS SMALL

END OF A PENINSULA

FIRST KING WAS ON HORSEBACK

FIRST PEACE HAD BUT SOWN DRAGON'S TEETH

GREATEST LANGUAGE

HIGHWAY RAN THROUGH THE PARISH

HOLINESS OF THE HEART'S AFFECTIONS

HOURS WERE LONG, WAITING FOR A CHILD TO SPEAK, WAITING

IMPERATIVES OF THE INSTINCTS

PIPER WITH THE THIN LIPS

POET SCANS THE STARS

PRETENCES ARE DONE WITH

PROBLEMS ARE NEVER ONLY EXTERNAL

PROBLEMS HE HAD CONCEALED

SCALES FELL FROM MY EYES

SEA AT HIS WINDOW

SEA'S SURFACE GLITTERS

VOICES OF TEMPTATION TO DISREGARD

WAR TO END ALL WARS!

WAY THE TREES' BOUGHS

WRONG PRAYERS FOR THE RIGHT

THERE ARE SINS RURAL AND SINS SOCIAL

THERE ARE THE NATURALS, SUCH MEN

THERE COME TIMES WHEN IT IS NECESSARY

THERE IS A BEING, THEY SAY

THERE IS A ROCK ON THE HEADLAND

THERE MUST BE THE MOUNTAIN

THERE WAS THIS SEA

THERE WERE OTHER CHURCHES FROM WHICH THE POPULATION HAD

THEY KEEP ME SOBER

THEY SET UP THEIR DECOY

THEY WERE AMONG CHAUCER'S PILGRIMS

THEY WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND

THIS AT THE BOTTOM

THIS IS THE WRONG CHRISTMAS

THIS PAGE SHOULD BE LEFT BLANK

TIME PASSED. THE WAR ENDED

TO AN ISLANDER WHAT IS THE SEA

TO BE ALIVE THEN

TO THE CHURCH ON THE HILL

TOP LEFT AN ANGEL

TOWN CHRISTMASES, COUNTRY ONES, SEA CHRISTMASES

TRICYANO-AMINOPROPENE

UNDER THE PHAROAHS IT WAS POWER

WAS THERE A RESURRECTION

WE MUST REVERSE OUR LENSES

WERE YOU ONE OF THE THREE

WHAT HAD BEEN BLUE SHADOWS ON A LONGED-FOR HORIZON, TRACED

WHAT I ASK OF HUMANS

WHEN THE ENGLISH COLONISE A PARISH

WHEN WE ARE WEAK, WE ARE

WHITE SKULLS, OILY WITH DEW IN THE LATE MOONLIGHT

WHO CAN READ GOD'S MIND?

WITH CASH IN THE ONE

WOMEN BLUBBED FOR HIM

YEARS ARE MILES TO BE

YEATS SAID HE HAD FOUND NOTHING

YESTERDAY'S PHOTOGRAPH

YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE

YOU SHOW ME TWO FACES

WENT TO PRAGUE...'
