Notice on the ruins of Ypres Cathedral: “This is holy ground” https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C45188
I stand
on
sacred ground
can’t you read
the sign
this is no place
for war
this
is civilised
and I wonder
if me
standing here
makes me civilised
too
I wonder
if touching the stone
admits me
into the secret
or if that
can only be found
below
among the bones
that will be
soon enough
for me
I can wait
another day
head low
my body
down
upon my
knees
~
Perfect poem for the image.
