It shows, it is so evident,
Absolutely so loving,
Character and nature so giving,
Makes friends instantly
And acts independently,
And so much fun,
Takes my hand
To help...

The Wash

In 1961 it’s for a weekend away

On a grey winter Friday.

Out from London, 

We drive north on

The A10 to the Wash.

Of a region we’ve not...

Medius Aevum (Burnt At the Stake)

The light was brief
on that ' figured leaf '
when man trembled
to the outer spheres,
that once made keep
when the vault was deep

of the median age

Into the night we're off to pick...
Cannot be seen, that...
