Poem
when autumn’s last but long exhale left mists of winter in its trail her thoughts turned to the past to look at greenway and the paths she took where long ago beneath blue skies she'd dream up deaths and alibis along the short cuts through the wood with thoughts of stabbings and of blood while fungi often made her think of slipping coniine inside drink then with the breathless views behind a choking often came to mind though with the river dart in view her thoughts would turn to drowning too and passing by the greenway bell * she'd sound out bludgeoning as well then muse once at the greenway gates of ordeals, follies, pigs and fêtes ** before she'd vanish through her door to kill some time and write some more. * The Greenway Bell: A bell on the quay of The River Dart in Devon, England that can be rung to let the ferry (a local passenger launch) know that you are there waiting to cross. ** References to the three stories written by Mrs Mallowan (Agatha Christie) that were inspired by her holiday home of Greenway: Dead Man's Folly (a fête is featured) Five Little Pigs Ordeal by Innocence
