We’ll do the usual, Michael and I will have some banter.
‘I haven’t got any desk top left’, says Michael, berret on.

Cycling Suffolk
Past glimpses of fields still wild with red campion
Down tarmac roads growing grass in the middle
The coing of a dove: all take me back
Back as I bicycle on at this time
I turn down a briddleway, bumping dried groves
made by tractors or hoves, and I’m back
In the Sahara, driving fast over sand
Making lightening decisions, eyes fixed to the ground
The way turns to a B road, edged with high hedges
Cascading haw blossom, buzzing with bees
I’m back to my back garden watching an insect
inside a funnel
Past old coppice hedgerows of overgrown hazel
In this dream juxtaoposed time, biking
Aged 20, learning Love song to Prufrok
heading into the east wind.
