In Memoriam

for Adam it remains for me to see three hundred harvests, three hundred vintages. —Ovid dust churns between the pews I nudge simon tell him how years ago you dressed as a shepherd complaining the hymns did your head in or at harvest the smell of warm bread you carried the wreath down the aisle now we carry you pews creak we exit surprised at the coolness and the smell of cut grass
