No You

All the fine fire sun sends down.

The leaving green, the heaving sea, the air 

Cool as a dream of snow in Africa,

The rare rich minerals of the earth, singing wind – 

These fine things do not remind me of you,

No, you make them, in their tracks, their places and

Without you they are not, no, nothing is:

Only some wan and lightless vacuum

Where a faint sound rings sadly because a possibility

Of your being hovered, ah, but it never came to be.

Sweet Evening Rare

Home, among the rooms and halls

Gold light falling on stripped pine

Daffs foam from the vase, the walls...

Needs Must

All through the years every now and then

I’ve made my lists and packed my bag

To leave old Brentford town again...
