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.
