Poem: ‘I shall start simply’
‘I shall start simply’
I shall start simply, being at the station, where sided by
a scape of elms the rails run milky ribbons to the early
light, and the sun spears gold from an onset of windows.
And me, there in an unrest of dawning look up at lovers
lying sleepy still in cloudy arms.
It is morning and I expect the resurrection of the dead.
