On Tuesday 6th August I represented Herefordshire Interfaith among a number of people commemorating the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Each year we meet at the cherry tree planted in Hereford cemetery and on most years the sun is shining as it was in Hiroshima on that fatal day. Tuesday was no exception.
Last night I dreamed
ten thousand grandmothers
from the twelve hundred corners of the earth
walked out into the gap
one breath deep
between the bullet and the flesh
Totally unexpected my guest arrived.
“Who is it?” asked my heart.
“The face of the moon,” said my soul.
we’re in the healing water of our love
its warm its clean
its radiant
like a sunbeam
the pure and healing water of our love
