etched in shadows of a father's grave,

lonely echoes on a frosted night...

at dawn...

By day the quarrymen

The music band understand
6 long month's they must wait
till their next recording session

D Street and Mayne
D street daydreams,

watered down time,
diluted with a soured lime,

a winking glint on distant water,

zestful horde in trendy street
Luscious coffee bouncing bean
set alight a dormant scene 
Pumpkin seeds dot fresh brown toast

the inconstant rattle of unlocked door, which
plays a backbeat to the buzz of dying fly.
