Number ''7. Space' is new. I don't think I've changed anything else since
last week.
Ruined Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry
1. Roof
iron implantation
devices, forged
by contemporary anxiety
twisting
in the hearth of battle
everything crashing
2. Floor
disks of large light
interrupt flagstones
here & there affect
kind illumination
3. Tower
remains in tact
despite bombs
& other assaults
near the pinnacle
small chink - tufts
of chickweed bloom
a magpie
overlooks
more formal
arrangements
4. Chantry
rock - wind curl
rounds
lips...
penetrating
death cold cache
in stones
5. Ecce Homo
people
sum times tourists
feint interest
too
smartly walk to
see beyond
crowding, beyond
the opened
6. Cross
unhinged
construction by the numbers.
devisor
of
humanity
caught
in
sub tractions
7. Space
lovers close-exchange torn bread
while benched-Old sleep
upturning mouths agape
wide. heavenly. embracing.
