Earth perfume

A revelation
Carried on the breeze, perfume
Of fresh-plowed humus

Church bells

Church bells' somber chime
An enumeration of
Error and regret

New life

Within your embrace
A new creature I quiver
Like a fresh-furled leaf

Datura

Whirling dervishes
Datura's white petals yearn for
Sacred ecstacy

After disbelief

What remains when disbelief has gone? ~Philip Larkin

After disbelief
Nothing to profess, recant
To thine own self true
