I summoned you with oil and incense
with holy thoughts in a great cathedral
with the patterns of light through stained glass
with wounds of healing
and with oil on your shoulders and thighs
a smouldering cone in a dark corner
quietness lit by a lilac sunset
in the holiness of the healing wounds

Cameron McClure is the pen name of a retired Chartered Surveyor who lives in Northern Ireland.

His writing explores identity through memory and place and the spirit which animates us all. He is interested in all expressive arts, and in philosophy psychology and physics. He enjoys cryptic crosswords, board games and solving puzzles in general. He would be a lesser person and lost without a dog beside him.
