A church clock chimes
Ringing ears, we continue
Our time is strewn
Only a few hours more
Yet here and now
A quiet indulgence
Sunlight; so strong
As to make a shadow
Where lead and paper meet
Away from the streets
And bars, and cars
And non-delayed gratification
From the station by
The canal, from the
Incident offered by chance
To the romance
Of beginning over
Yes, beginning again
