St Deiniol Church


 Church of St  Deiniol 

Llanddeiniolen

Yew trees
Witness 
a small boy 
with flowers
a wreath is placed on
Christmas Eve.
The removal of
dead flowers 
the rancid stench of season
is emptied out of green jars.

It is early  autumn
a bumper crop of
wild black berries grow from
the immortal fruit stock
shooting out of 
the skeleton cracks
slate tomb stones
expose dark cobwebs
and the expectation of skulls.

A morbid hue falls 
with rain
it's a dark day
the mountains feel
deceptively close 
over the stone wall
and above the pylon hills
Snowdon is
fading
into sky.


Avie.
