The End of England
THE END OF ENGLAND
Above the blustery assault of the sea breeze on the land,
Yellow voices animated about 1707 and Union.
Berwick on Tweed - wet Saturday afternoon:
Market place cats hiding under wind-whipped stalls,
Germans and Americans strolling the old walls
Clutching yellow anoraks in the teeth of the gale.
River choppy and clean, sea unfriendly, pale.
The end of England.

Note: Berwick on Tweed is the last town
on the English side of the border with Scotland.
