summer grasses—
the wheels of a locomotive
come up to a stop

I weed the old gravel
I weed between the new paving stones
I weed, and I know that I will have to weed again
Yet the memory may be the first memory
It is of being with Grandad
On the clay works steam-powered shunting engine
We ride together, from the arched bridge
By our row of terraced cottages
To the buffers, of Hepworth Iron Company Ltd
