Remember
When the apex moved
And the body shook
I remember you
Unfurling
True
You done alright for yourself
Stuck out, swung in the gap
At the spaces between us
The bar that is yours
Though we drank here, together
My bracken hatchling
Kite that was yellow
And swung with the stars
My bracken hatchling
Do you remember me?
I picture you suffocating
In last tulip polytunnel
Damp and waterlogged, eroded
Because all things erode
How the countryside turns in on itself
When the road is clear and wet!
How the countryside turns in on itself
Do you remember me?
You've done alright for yourself
Swung out, stuck in the gap
Waste-eyed, charcoal shark sewn to the bar
That somehow was yours
My bracken hatchling
My bracken hatchling
My bracken hatchling
My bracken hatchling
Do you remember me?
My bracken hatchling
My bracken hatchling
Me?
And I will finish my drink
And on the night walk come
Stargazing
