The View From The Bridge
The Remnants
Manvers noon stroll: Remnants, fleeting glories, bold statements
The Wrinkled Blown Blue
The wrinkled blown blue skin
Grasped at by ever thinned
Dark could be finger or limb
Push out to islands on the rim.
Dark and choppy Manvers Lake
Beautiful Detritus
Goldsplash lamplight
Goldsplash lamplight under vivid latex sky pushed into shapes by body above it: memory foam
The insignificant, often stepped on and through, cursed at.
The Need to Remember
The need to remember.
The never to forget.
This list of essential tasks
on mobile, in my head.
Milk, bread, light bulbs, to live,
To bury my Nanna
beside my mum, sister.
Lay her casket to rest.
The need to remember
why this delay
to fulfill my Nannas
wish to be buried here,
join daughter, granddaughter.
I have kept her ashes
stored in my room at home.
Close to their photographs.
I have told myself ‘Do
It!’ and nothing is done.
I cannot, will not let
go of her. I am done.
Let her and myself down.
Must get hold of myself.
Must call the vicarage.
Must say a last goodbye.
The never to forget
as I shop these shelves
everything on my list
that needs to be done.
My Nanna, Sister, Mum
Were my bread, milk, light.
My wife, daughter, grand
kids are essentials now.
The need to remember,
the never to forget.
one list to another
an urgent task undone.
