I do take more time (mostly)
I do carry on leaving
But Lumb Bank is still within me
Stop, I say to myself
Have I said too much
Have I not said enough
Is all truly or otherwise revealed
I have bought
The collected works
Of the mountaineer poet
Also bought his book Found At Sea
Which is a mirror
Quotation
To one I saw many years ago
Which I photographed
Lost At Sea
Being apt I thought
For how my lover at that time
Appeared to be feeling
Happenstance in Heptonstall
Poems Started at Lumb Bank
