a ruddy cheeked farm girl was building a dry stone wall<\/p>\n
her only refreshment was a flask of black coffee<\/p>\n
southgate-long street<\/p>\n
street names are all essentially the same<\/p>\n
the regeneration of james p grace \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
as he travelled on a bus he saw a poster of beethoven<\/p>\n
middle-maze<\/p>\n
middle-gaze<\/p>\n
a boy from the vincent house said that he visited the village often<\/p>\n
i sees im before i git on the train <\/i><\/p>\n
croft-mead<\/p>\n
croft-seed<\/p>\n
the big butchers in bassett buried burt<\/p>\n
said the local paper in bold headlines<\/b><\/p>\n
i never knew burt<\/p>\n
but purchased meat from his shop in bassett<\/p>\n
a group of eight ramblers were heading towards their destination<\/p>\n
they had blue rutsacks<\/p>\n
fringed in green<\/p>\n
as they passed the catkins<\/p>\n
the dust covered their clothes<\/p>\n
i make rose hip syrup<\/i><\/p>\n
i loves me dandelion wine \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
a single white horse had been cut into the hillside<\/p>\n
i waited for it to trot towards market<\/p>\n
it stayed still<\/p>\n
i went hungry<\/p>\n
venice graphics<\/p>\n
venice barracks<\/p>\n
graphic barracks<\/p>\n
venice venice<\/p>\n
i have yet to find a venice street in this city \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
two sisters sit opposite each other taking tea<\/p>\n
they do not speak<\/p>\n
you loved me one <\/i><\/p>\n
i await the confirmation of circles <\/i><\/p>\n
a musician in a fedora hat sits with his dark haired girlfriend<\/p>\n
they too are taking tea<\/p>\n
i listen to their conversation<\/p>\n
which is about music<\/p>\n
the girl is with child<\/p>\n
but does not know<\/p>\n
her daughter will be a musician<\/p>\n
yesterday the city was sunny but today it is damp<\/p>\n
a misty rain has made the roads gleam<\/p>\n
even though the light is poor<\/p>\n
as i walk i can see the footsteps of others<\/p>\n
they are making history in this city of the caesars<\/p>\n
the bitterness of diamonds<\/p>\n
sixty-four years ago my parents attended an exhibition<\/p>\n
which was held by the river in the capital city<\/p>\n
i had not been born but attended nonetheless<\/p>\n
they purchased a commemorative medal for me<\/p>\n
which i carry with me each day<\/p>\n
in the shop on the bridge in the city<\/p>\n
i found an identical medal which i purchased<\/p>\n
i now carry both medals in my pocket<\/p>\n
my parents knew the rosenberg\u2019s<\/p>\n
sing-sing<\/p>\n
sing-sing<\/p>\n
they used to sing to me when i was in the pram<\/p>\n
i am now in retreat<\/p>\n
and enjoy my life travelling backwards<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
