Like Kathleen I have a poem Coming on Yet to be born Waiting in darkness For a moment of truth
Like Kathleen I 've swept the floor But haven’t darned the socks Yet I made a cake instead And cooked two meals For the one I love
Like Kathleen I'm hopelessly hopeless In life in love and only Survive each day By welcoming Blue green golden red
(so forgetting what the angel said) I sing Like Kathleen Words that in my blood Stream over rocks To the sea.
Kathleen is the poet Kathleen Raine whose poems I have set in a song cycle Stone and Flower (see my website http://www.nigel-morgan.co.uk/) My poem references Raine's poem Angelus.
