Across the church square lies (each lamp in
space
a moon, translucent hemisphere of mist)
the electric violet; people, shadowless,
pass – black of body, strangely white of
face;
the spire like a finger held up high
out of low twilight of man-made delusion;
in all of their rejection and seclusion
the Middle Ages join the electric light.
Searchingly, thoughts are moving to and fro
on this tight square of consciousness, all
go
their separate ways, to where truth just
might be;
and vast against the background of each
soul
there looms dismissive, waiting, mute and
cold,
the grim dark block of Christianity.
