Yma o Hyd and the Hymns Unsung

Summary:
Yma o Hyd = we’re still here. Welsh nationalist slogan. Dywedwch wrthyf could you fall in love? Calon lan = a pure heart Breuddwyd = dream

Caress Cymraeg whispers 

– red, white and green – 

to stalk your neck and flower fragrance

upon the hills of your skin

 

Love bites will colour the braille 

of each lost village talking to another, 

semaphore, morse code, my mouth 

would swap conversation for kissing 

Snowdondia susurration between your lips 

 

Bible back bedroom 

for your eyes only 

can’t you see surrogate 

stars drifting from umbilical moon

cord is the bondage tying our open curtains

 

In abeyance, in balance 

of skyscrapers to flooded cottage 

breuddwyd town where we can live 

together, whether, daily climate 

is heatwave turning to snow 

Calon lan and the lands  

between honesty and truth, 

desires which keep you awake at night 

would you ever send 3 a.m. letters 

folded within duvet envelopes? 

 

In burial vinyl of

partners, family and friends

I struggle to hear their voices
