Die Feldkapelle

Die Feldkapelle

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

just a few lines about what I like to look at

"
Maria`s little house, far from a house of prayer,
a doll`s house, small roof clean and bricked and
aped from a farmhouse, white to hurt your eyes.
A chapel on a Summer carpet, that saves
time for the corn, the diesel pulse of a tractor,
heavy boots before wrought-iron.Brick warm
and rustic, only the small blue flowers in a
jam jar are wilted, the crops too young to learn,
the day resurrected as the sky grows older,
this a moment for a precarious God.

"this a moment for a precarious God' my favorite line in this poem. It is a wonderful piece, where I see a picture built piece by piece until I can look at the whole and admire that yes, this is art. Well done.

There are many layers to this beautiful piece; physical, man-made, natural and spiritual, all set within the palette of a Renaissance painting. I think heaven would be something like this. The reader becomes a willing viewer, and the dispassionate descriptions work to create a passionate response. Like all you poems, Leslie, you make the hard work and skill of wordplay seem effortless. This is definitely a favourite!

the farmlands of Bavaria reminded me once of my own home, I think that Maria's little house is accessible to many of us wherever we may find it. Your images are complex but familiar, too. A pleasure to visit.

There's a simple intensity in the image of the little chapel out there in the field. Today most people wld be lost without their mobile phone on their person. Then they had more need of the spiritual connection. Most of us have no real connection with fields now. There's a lot going on in the last three lines also, with the youth, age and resurrection ideas.
