Marbury
Today I took the long narrow lane
Which turns and winds to Marbury.
Found the seat opposite the Lamb
Turned right ,
A row of houses , where you lived
Many years ago.
..... and the fields are raw , bleak ,
frost is cold against grey hedges clipped back for winter
it is very quiet ,
horses wear coats , grey sky ,
cattle in the distance , leaves gently fall from an oak tree.
..... at this junction , in the middle of nowhere,
I try to remember , under which tree we sat
I know we walked , this way , a tree ,
behind a hedge , in a field ,
thirty years ago ,
I don’t recognise the place .
I turn the van around,
Accelerate from the village,
And where the lane begins I stop ,
Walk over , and
I touch the bark of on oak , at the lane edge ,
Here I say goodbye ,
Bury another memory,
.......... foot down,
........... drive away,
Never return.
