Graham Burchell

The Right Side of the Pond

Our world has tilted into September again
and I miss them passing in the street
on the right side of the pond
pulling coats tighter over old bosoms
or raising palms to slate sky
or simply sniffing lime tinged light
of shortening days and remarking
there's definitely an autumnal feel in the air
before they go about their funerals
or small money tasks in the post office
where they consider what they might take
to church this year for harvest festival
