It is not with the lyre of someone in love that I go seducing people. The rattle of the leper is what sings in my hands. Jane Kenyon

Footprints

"He kneeled long,
And saw love in a dark crown
of thorns blazing,and a winter tree
golden with fruit of a man's body."

RS Thomas


The places
of trampled grass
where love trod,
one could mistake
them for the foot-
prints of God.
