To The Malvern Hills
Indeed to Great Malvern
Home of The Water Cure
In the nineteenth century
To the book on beauty
Indeed to perceive beauty
In the place of circumstance
With the sorbet of mango
The beer pump pulled
Pouring into the tilted glass
In that narrow room
Where the policemen came
On my brother’s 21st birthday
He was laid flat out
In the middle of the main road
From Huddersfield to Sheffield
