My Bench

Not on the tarmac esplanade

Where the proudest benches tout.

Nor facing the rising or setting suns  –

It needs no glory from light’s posturing.

Not varnished annually  –

Its grain is weathered truth.

Overgrown, uncatalogued,

It hosts no remembrance spray,

Save the blossom fall

In sadness and in triumph.

Sit away from faster paths.

Under this unpruned bower

The world in shaded silence

Unfolds itself around you.

Poem:

6th November

This morning my son and I

searched the lane for fallen rockets.

We found only one:

 a charred remnant amongst sodden leaves

run over by a car.

'Obviously a dud,' I said, 'burnt out

before it had even reached those trees.'

'No Dad,' he said.

'This fell back to earth

after it had scorched the stars.'
