Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 81


Today is Friday, the 18th of October 2019.

More to say? No way.

Is that enough to be a poem?


"Bromford"

Curling lips, fingertips, dead eye dips
I saw it all in the Bromford
Splinter cracks, summer tracks, paperbacks
We found them all in the Bromford
In the shade, whistle blades, singing fades
In the Bromford

She wants to stay
And talk all day
So I remark
When it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse

River glass, cycle past, overcast
I saw it all in the Bromford
Copper sky, shadows rise, bridge of sighs
We had it all in the Bromford
Skin tracks, face facts, fade to black
In the Bromford

She wants to stay
And talk all day
So I remark
When it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse
