Back to Timbuktu

Searching to get a room with a view
Overlooking lush gardens of Kew
With no green to be seen 
And a landlord so mean
I quickly went back to Timbuktu
Form: Limerick


From Kew Bridge, 1864

A walk foreshortened by the Thames
that once would flow through field and moor –
now stitched and patched with dirty hems,
a city’s outskirts of the poor.

You used to walk here, years ago
when May put on her blossom-show.
But Progress is a subtle sweep
that changes worlds while we’re asleep.
