The Church of Claude and Pilot
by Johanna May
In the landscape of bliss
all rustlings are prayers
crisp as white crunch
underfoot,
comforting to new arrivals,
stomping away the last stains of sorrows
synchronous to each bell toll,
there is a church it says
somewhere
within mountlings of snows,
or unknown street corners
or
inside
found again,
like mythical terrains
we’ve long given up
would show.

I enjoyed reading the poem with the picture in sight and then reading it deliberately refusing the picture to see if it changes how the poem reads. It does add depth and dimension. Even the title changes meaning without the picture. Enjoyed this. |
