St Anthony’s Chapel


 


Ruins close in
as you reach the arch,
blocking its hold
to the upper wall.

You nod at the prospect
of suburbs and river.
“Not the best view,” you say.
“Not worth the effort.”

Watched swans plunge
to the loch below,
a concord of flight
in their search for food

as we track back
the way we have come.
The path tips to a gully,
mud slips under my feet
