Was This Review Helpful to You?

There was a goat outside the window of my Classic Double,

working a bald strip of tilted earth behind wire.

Between us lay a five-foot-deep concrete alley

through glass; my admiration at its brown head and neck

on a white body, like two beasts severed and sewn;

and some prison dreams neither of us would divulge.

In the bar, low sun glimmed off the sea. I couldn’t

get a seat near it. The men from the power station who could,

as a squadron, turned their heads from the window

to watch the TV above mine. For me too, it was hard

to believe in the beach that stretched for miles each side

like an adhesive strip ripped off something useful.

Breakfast was an open bag of Kingsmill White,

some soft croissants pouched in cellophane, plus

one bruised pear which I took out of fellow feeling.

I had to get us out of here: away from the owners

talking business in their sagging tracksuits, away

from this disowned ground, its hand-hot rain.
