Sunkings — Tongues Of Fungus
You are ill, Davies, ill in mind An old canker, to your kind Peculiar, has laid waste the brain's Potential richness in delight And beauty; and your body grows Awry like an old thorn for lack Of the soil's depth; and sickness there Uncurls slowly its small tongues Of fungus that shall, thickening, swell And choke you, while your few leaves Are green still.
And so you work In the wet fields and suffer pain And loneliness as a tree takes The night's darkness, the day's rain While I watch you, and pray for you, And so increase my small store Of credit in the bank of God, Who sees you suffer and me pray And touches you with the sun's ray, That heals not, yet blinds my eyes And seals my lips as Job's were sealed Imperiously in the old days.
