wet Northwich 7-15 pm Sunday 18th April 2004




I sit at dusk
thinking of politicians
tricks

allusions of theirs
and of others already in prominence
this dirty end to Sunday

sunset casts a fiery glow over roof top
to crash upon the south wall of my front room
I see red........    (at last at last at last, I write)

                          ========


at last at last at last


at last
when we lay them to rest
at last
they can be themselves
at last
with the last shovel of earth
at last
they will be left to consume their unread bibles page by page and be
at last
done with the holy charade

      ( at last )
