The back end of September

This could be

The long last day of summer

This time so so free

It is now I have I see

Once again to become a number


Though not before the breeze

Or the sunrise

Or the filtered light

So so tight; my eyes, my hands

They have to find their own way


The gardener, in his Suffolk smock

The fairground girl

With her countryfied frock

The world is our oyster

With fate now so firm unlocked


Sit here

In this Mediterranean zephyr

With an English tea

And rose perfume


Among the pagodas

Down by the waters edge

The tinker bells

Tinkle tap their tune


This could be

There goes the breeze again

Through and out the garden

Over the roses, down by the waters edge


You do know how it is now

Now don’t you

Although it could still be the middle of June
