Benjamin's Crossing ...



I'm reading Benjamin's Crossing

Jay read this book one Dorset weekend - 

I've only just started reading it, yet already I'm filled with melancholy - 

I know where the story will end - 

I remember the small town, the heartless beauty of the sea - 

I imagine placing my suitcase beside a narrow bed - 

The Angel of History would watch me caught in the storm from paradise - 

I'd be swept away whilst a policeman smoked a contemptuous cigarette -
