Graveyard: Valencia Island

From the book: MIDNIGHT RAINBOW


Graveyard : Velencia Island

Here, I read the slate tomb names
In their graves, under the turf of Ireland
Men, women and infant just sixteen months
A mouth yet to smile

Sleep against the bitter wind that scours
The lichen off your hunchback coats
You cold souls of Valencia



Harry Mills : 1st January 2012
