Poem written 9th May 2020.

 

Trespasser

 

We meet outside 

a ruined church

not having spoken 

for 10 years.

Between the oak door

and stone jamb, cobwebs 

 

stretch, as if waiting 

to be broken, 

or 

 

to check

if anyone unwanted 

opens it.

 

But no one,

besides time,

has passed this way.
