In Coventry Cathedral

In the Cathedral ruins

The ghosts seem friendly

Pigeons homely, air sweet

Clouds white with a hint of rain



The drops fall on the roofless relic

Like the ancient bombs

Failings of us all



Trying not to be religious

Humanity should think of itself



A bee gathers honeysuckle

People can love
