come gently with birth

come gently with life

grow with the place

until we grew beyond how it was



beyond the culture and crowding

thinking

becoming unsettled

moving

retaining memory



1.



cycling the promenade hoping

some one will love us some day



baking down dunes

walking down tracks

barefoot hoping for less paving in town



2. humbling for a home

walking looking in windows

will some one want us

house us?



3. finding the two above

settling for the place where folk

come to holiday beautiful

while we work the bones of it

the grit beneath



bournemouth beautiful



the reason beneath the move away

is beyond any words i have just

now

where folk

come to holiday beautiful
