This weeks words come from Peter Rose's poem
' Memorabilia'
friend bookshop edition ditties doves boxfuls
sheet borrow stuff slash hotel purblind
he left boxfuls of books and stuff
at his purblind friend's place
a room in a cheap hotel
near the new edition bookshop
borrowed a sheet
and slept in the back of the car
the doves and busker
woke him singing little ditties
suddenly he was overcome
with a need to slash a few paddocks
mend a few fences
more than a month
in the city was enough
Love the ending especially! More than a month in just about any city is more than enough. Back to the peace of the paddocks!
