Listen to poem:

Act of Time

Act of Time
David J Walker

The purlieu of my childhood survives in dreams 
And haunts me as I drive its hazy streets 
Though everything’s complete 
		Still intact as if
Some sort of act of time
What was is mine 
As I repeat each line as if
Spoken in foreign language play
So far away in a distant auditorium
