Fatima

Easter Remembered. 

When the sun glares 
there are no shadows the shine
 becomes
a haze no thought can penetrate, 
a lucidity that reveals nothing
I saw them by the side of the road 
two hundred sheep
ragged dogs and a shepherd
to look after them,
and on a hill afar a church, 
it is Easter Sunday
 wish I could paint the scene
 alter the architecture 
of the church as it is too modern 
an alien in this landscape
of peace and coloured by catholic 
postcard idyll.
