The Fourth of May

The fourth of May                           
My eldest’s birthday - bunkered down in some 
London flat
Whiling the Covid days away
My wedding anniversary, in a previous life
But let’s not talk
About that
The fourth of May
Oh, the fourth of May
Etched upon my memory
Tugs painfully upon my heartstrings 
Acknowledged 
In a strange and wistful way
