SIGNS       
 
... You remained the same
For 40 years:
You – put the cat out
Instead
Of the milk money –.
The squatter’s chair –.
The imaginary Diva
From next door –.
The Pilot light,
And a picture
Postcard
Of Pompeii.
 
Always, you strayed
My way
As before...
                Tramping
Grand Elysium Fields
And more
Back then
              When
It was ‘we’
Who were
 
The living.
 
 
 
MIDNIGHT PASTORALE    
 
From my perpendicular
Slope
Yesterday
Comes rushing
Towards me.
