Two pulpits ...






White waves broke upon the rocky shore - 

A kestrel waited for fragile bones - 

Two gannets flew low and fast over the bright turbulent sea - 

We skirted the abandoned quarries -

The sea wind sculpted hardy trees - 

Penelope told me how she'd seen a murmuration of starlings - 

Bleached grass was knee high in the graveyard - 

There were two pulpits in the church - 

One for the sermon the custodian said - one for The Word
