Poem

David Wright

I see rain falling and the leaves
Yellowing over Eden, whose
Brown waters flood below the house
Where, thirty-five years on, I live.

So long is it since first we met,
And in another world, it seems,
Where, out of pocket, down at heels,
Night after night in Rathbone Place
...
Searching, please wait...
