Brompton
Grieving planes
Sigh over you
Give way to
Throbbing wings
Below i press in
Beyond your gates
Escaping deeper
To find you resting
Here
Against our cacophony
Holding peace
In this choking city
Gifting grace
To a bluefaced
Gasping London
Walled here is
Peace and knowing
Damp earth and stone
The pause of nettles
A peeking robin
Peppered earthen air
Hung heavy now I sit
Perfumed in birdsong
Which playing over my skin
In dappled light
Calms like ether
I wait a while
Inhale
Earthen memories rise
A young man before me
Now laid to rest
Sun kissed and young
Above the sea
"In sorrow lost"
Man's arms folded
Across a son's skin bronzed
Father's life watering in eyes
That don't spill over
