You saw Christina
and a few
of her giggling
school friends
...
Miss Pinkie
had him spread out
upon her bed
...
Fay sat
on the grass
with you
with Banks House
...
Judy sat
in one of the seats
in the pub garden
and spoke
...
Christina was standing
by the school gym
her satchel over
her shoulder
...
You were lying on your back
on the grass beside Judith
three days after
the start
...
Helen looked up
at the rain drenched sky
as you both stood
under the extended roof
...
Willie's walked to the village,
Dottie sits darning stockings
by the window, her nimble
...
Along the lane
towards Diddling
you stopped
and looked
...
Brighton
that last time
late August
1980
