Old Man of Fontcalvy
—
The monk, long served, arises
Bathed, through shutter’s lid
In single beam of golden light
The last such kiss he will receive
An echo of that given, late,
By parting Father Abbot
True friend of forty years
Beneath the blocks
That now shield ageing flesh
From withering sun’s ordeal.
