Dark Church

angular

behind black,

a suggestion of brick;

the spire moon

shadows the roots

under stars

a slight warmth

of sandstone

and ticking birds,

small movements

between gravestones

and curled brass

a dark box of

stone waiting

for the edge of light.

very evocative, very interesting, I must confess some verses I just can't stop reading them. The whole contrast of the second stanza, I really enjoyed it. Well done.
