House of God
Exhibition of glory
Sample of ambition
Statue of might
Deviser of ways
Dream of Solomon
Belfry of the Seraphim
Stable of productive mares
Library of timeless oaths
Undeniable lightning once fallen
City spanning shadows
Spiked turret shadows tossed like oil in siege relief
Casting rooks along cobbles
Pulchritudinous oak invoking spires
An ear to the future
An eye to the past
Over it eyes pass
Cold flagstones, gilt braziers
Rotting flags forbidden to lower
Petrous wonder, conflicting seraphim of movement and stone
Harmonies of angle and theme and aspect and vision
Rousing altarpieces bidding supplication
A glimpse while genuflecting
Golden candlesticks, thick as Joyce and scrubbed to polish
Solified reflection rebeholds
Mask of Agamemnon in pious repose
Arises, agapes, amens, achew, a seat, a sit, a sigh, amen.
What else eats host?
Stained glass windows scandalising sandal-scuffed flags with tarted light
Individuality, realisation of individuality
Imbued every stone
With paganism.
Car park full of Vimanas
Alchemisland
