In 2017 Ines sat with Liam under a tree in Avebury<\/p>\n

She was topless but nobody really cared<\/p>\n

As this was the Summer Solstice<\/p>\n

And the day was piping hot<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a Wiltshire town not far away<\/p>\n

An old man was listening to his radio<\/p>\n

The Archers was just about to finish<\/p>\n

When he closed his eyes<\/p>\n

And did not open them again<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had not realised that the old man had died<\/p>\n

Until I read his short obituary in the local paper<\/p>\n

Ines and Liam had returned to their high powered jobs<\/p>\n

Where they hid their new age beliefs for fear of ridicule<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wiltshire Stations<\/strong><\/p>\n

I composed this quiet poem<\/p>\n

About ten days later<\/p>\n

Whilst travelling on a train<\/p>\n

To pass the time between stations<\/p>\n
