The text
Look, as soon as legs and arms
out of the womb at last uncurl
they bind them tight in winding clothes
to straiten them as they unfurl.
Look at his first stuttering steps
to reach his father's arms outstretch
and feels like he's falling,
falling 'til
the joiner's hands take hold and catch.
Look at the cross,
the arms he still
holds up
even though lost for breath
his legs still stand unbent,
unbroken
even at the point of death.
Look in the grave –
he takes the clothes
they wound
around his limbs and head,
folding them neatly in his hands
he gets up now and leaves his bed.
Clive Wright (b. 1954)
