On boxing day

On boxing day

walked out with you

to a special place

under dingy low cloud

as we walked listening

to a mistle thrush sing

from a Holly tree standing

in winter whitened marsh grass

in a swept out fire break.

And Erw Beddau lies desolated in the distance.

for my daughter the bravest soul I know.
