The Dark House of Hurt Copyright © Adel Gorgy 2015 Photograph - http://www.adelgorgy.com/

CROSSES AND GRAVESTONES BREAK MY VIEW

Crosses and gravestones break my view.

To the left, I see you, bending

To arrange a jar of flowers;

The winter sky dulls your presence:

Charcoal figure, Van Gogh peasant.

Now kneeling, you recall a prayer.

My lack of Welsh locks out the sense;

But the grammar of sobs I know.

No priest, no poet, no actor

Could vinegar my wound like you.

You stand and gather up your things;

Then blackly walk the narrow path.

Your grief is deep - and so is mine;

Yet your strange prayer suggests that faith

Does visit your dark house of hurt.

I stare down at my child son’s grave;

I say no words to cross or stone,

As my clenched hands hold crumbs of dirt.
