Today I move away
Where to next
Where to now
Slow it down
Take a walk
Look at the sky
Breathe in the air
Yet still I stay
In my room
No firm handshakes
No warm goodbyes
The first day
Of the ninth month
Of the nineteenth year
Of this century
The sixty-seventh year
Of first days
Of next days
Of last days
Happenstance in Heptonstall
Poems Started at Lumb Bank
