Unpick church doors
to let air in – light will
drift as glass colours
see agitated pilgrims
on holy routes?
Here
I’ll watch God’s work
[where bodies turn in
Hamsey’s dug place –
above more spates –
unmentioned in any
estate agent details]
That line to Uckfield
is buried – bedded-in
under pastures – this
bridge flashes arches
writ-redundant – by a
pen in London/
Here
a scrape of tools will
speak up for those in
graves – this was our
route – now inhumed
until called by angels
& [stilly] disentombed
to roll on rusted lines
[we espy iron – veiled
by floodwaters’ loam]
