Going To Church In Winter

Slight as birds
Not in flight,
But well placed

Between hill and
Village, snow as it is;
Balanced, neutral.

Greyheads, silver-eyed
Drown in tweed,
Beyond manshape,

They ballet over ice,
Horse-footed,
Terse with God,

Wordless,
Sort of half alive;
Drawn against the white.
