Swirled colour
no prentice pillar
in cool interior
plain smooth stone
the artist sun
and new stained glass
congregation absent
cushioned chairs
mind their history
oaken furniture
Knox's pulpit
ecclesiastical
decoration
poverty riches
dearth of images
among these colours
someone prepares
flowers on a table
we walk round
the familiar
unfamiliar
(Dunfermline Abbey)
(Durham Cathedral)
Stirling parish church
all their trammels
of power and art
stone more than words
changeable windows,
glass and sunlight,
slabs and weather
illuminated
in an instant
around a curve.
