IV

Who walked between the violet and the violet 
Who walked between 
The various ranks of varied green 
Going in white and blue, in Mary’s colour, 
Talking of trivial things
In ignorance and knowledge of eternal dolour 
Who moved among the others as they walked, 
Who then made strong the fountains and made fresh the springs

We walked between past and present
Aqueous earth and sapphire sky
Memory made of mud and masonry
Reflecting peach to rose to red
Talking of tomorrow
As our failures and future
Fall into turquoise waters
Slowly dissolving one reality to reveal another
