Between blotch and blok

The text of the Patten original is here (and that's the only place I could find it). (I didn't link to it originally because I'm never entirely comfortable linking to a copyright work that's been quoted in full possibly without permission. Tho' this is a link to the Poetry Library at the RFH, so it's fairly legit.)

It's one of my favourite of Patten's works.

I am so glad that the biblical literalists haven't got such a hold over things here.
