TIME AND THE ECHO. 15 June 1968.

A few sticks crackle in the dark.

A heart imprisoned in the stove-black bars.

Outside, in the lonely night, crying.


Memories are running in the hall,

A white owl watching on the frog-backed isle.

Outside, in the silence, her crying.


And the three bells sound . . . . .

Wildly ringing on the tingling sea.

Outside, in the broken church, dying.


Memories of Brynhenllan Church hall, Dinas Cross and Cwm yr Eglwys, Pembrokeshire.
