wedding poem

The church was

             p

a

and sloping alongside

were faint sun h

                            i

                                 l

people singing hymns

in violet, purple, lilac, 

indigo, lavender, pink


disguised 

in rouge, 

eye-lashes,  

perfumes, curls


witnessing nuptials

of a beautiful, nervous couple


on a malt evening

raining rainbows.
