The
train shoots out of the dark
And on to the bridge
In a dazzle of daylight the billboard sings
"Believe in Christ the Lord and thou shalt be saved"
Why do the words thrill My unbelieving teenage soul?
The message I receive
Has little to do with a crucified Jew
And everything to do with the sound of the words
Marvellous in my mouth
"We are poetry," they sing to me
"And poetry is the way and the life"
(from
the CD "In Her Own Voice")
