DAVID SILVESTER

Harry Hardiner disappeared in December 1999.

​A helluva lot has happened since then.

The Bells when the Church Burned


Miles through swordblue

Mountains rang

Peals through the tunnels

Glittering

Humalong

Stolen from summers

Glow on the bronze peak

Growing sang

Humalong

Glittering

Delldown and twittering

Come along christian

No time for embittering

Angels hang

Hurricane

Blissfully

Fading for glory

Steeplesong soaring

 

Runner heard

Picked up his head

Spread up his ribcage

Breath like a bird

Searcher heard

Echoed its tones

Whistled harmonics

Treasure inferred

Scribner heard

Spilled out the gall

Quilled in the pale wind

Unwrote the word

Bridegroom heard

Took it for heartsigh

Blissfully

Humalong

Glittering

Hurricane

Come along lover

Wave on the white sheet

Bull in the cover

Humalong

Blissfully

Starshine through old glass

Blissfully

Blissfully

Humalong

Wish for the

Wide world to wake but leave

Curtains unstirred

 

Still in the smokeblue

Valleys play

Calls from the gold dome

Moans to the hot moss

Far away

Hurricane

Humalong

Hard to stay

Come along

Where in the boneblue

Forests lay

 

Humalong

Hurricane

Blissfully

Glittering
