Your mum had the recipe in her head she said -
Anne's cakes were my madeleines -
Each rich mouthful prompted a memory of childhood -
I saw again the Ferguson in the lounge, the Readers Digest Atlas, opened to the map of Africa -
I heard My Fair Lady on the radiogram -
I smelled the scent of the world upon my dad's greatcoat -
I felt the weight of heaven above the sky -
