Durham Cathedral, March 2004


Careful, here,

as polishing cloth across a floor,
police officer,
voyeur.

Air closes over the angel's departure.
Always, in the air. The river
in the floor

inhabits it, as light inhabits water
or the heart's interior
or here.

Oh my god, Durham Cathedral is one of my favorite places in the world. I went to school in Durham. This is fantastic, thank you!!

It's very reminiscent of Basil Bunting, which is very appropriate.
