Joseph Healy Poet Free verse

A long long time ago

And we're doing all this without Wendy,
I thought,
That's a good line to take it to the bridge 

But we're not near the bridge, 
I corrected 

And realised that we in fact, are,
Near the bridge,
The motorway bridge 

Cos we're going to the foresters 

And you were here
Many years ago my love 
One of the kids' school friends and 

Sadly you are not here now 
What a pity,
What a terrible pity as
The juke kicks in 

A long long time ago...

A long long time ago you were here 
And we, too

And of course now 
You are not 

What a pity 
What a terrible pity...

A long, long time ago 

You lived.
