The beauty of desire


Hollyhocks delphiniums and gorse
The little lanes the ginnell’s, the sea’s force
The vastness and the emptiness of sky.
Annihilating sense and vision shy
On the sands a white horse stood alone.
By the sea a man flicked a flat stone.
We could not speak the air was like the wind
As if our uttered words were mortal sins.
Your hat blew off and flew by Cley s old church.
I saw a cat a wizard and a witch
We took some photos had a cup of tea
When you are blind it’s difficult to see
We got into the car and drove away.
Norfolk’s very grand but not that day
