Anne - The beginning of winter poems
We stand with her remains,
sworn at by the ferry,
she'd lie awake awaiting trains,
if she could hear our moans,
would diss our useless levies,
drink instead holy water,
thank these blessed days,
neither disturbed nor easy,
by a morphine driver’s flame,
the manner of her tone,
another Liverpool tributary,
a voice calm without stones ,
more a silk worm trail,
mass cards from yellow monasteries,
a promise to return refrain,
money given was not a loan,
just as she crossed the estuary
she’d never ask for more,
we stand at the morning jetty.
