Back to the boy in Cornelius Street (Free verse) by Caducus
Under wrinkles the lathes left
sighs meander like the glen river
from a welsh town in photographs
curled fetal in livered knuckles,
heart pounds his chest
like bombs on Cornelius Street
and evacuee feet
on hills of Pen Y Mawr.
Where sunlight lands as Chrysanthemums
Dad walks backwards to Church
away from me - his shoulder Giant
to be healed by psalm and mosaic.
Soon heâll return to the lathes
yet his prayers are for Pen Y Mawr
and the glen that now pools in his wrinkles
to run down the smooth part of his face,
like evacuee feet of Pen Y Mawr,
Cancer gave him his life
and took away the Cancer.
