Judy(E) Dawkin

Seen by a child Judy was a frightening sight
All tousled hair n beard all wild
A hermit they said
One of two I ever met

Old long khaki coat of ex army grubby 
For belt an ex-electric iron n flex 
Rudeness or aggression none
Gruff countenance felt not said

Strange restrained respect from village folk
Tales of Great War gist of hero 
What was the truth?
What had he done?

Too long ago now 
All dead or addled
Remnant Memories
Perhaps nearly all mine

His home 
Shack by the river
How many long quiet nights
Water passing by

Heaven or hell 
Who dares judge?
A mystery now
Judy’s Echo
