Blue remembered hills ...



My dad had just finished eating - 

He leaned over to pick up a fallen pea - 

The words of a poem learned in Town Street came back to him - 

Blue remembered hills he said - 

The happy highways where I went - 

And cannot come again - 

On the sideboard was a photograph of my brother and his wife - 

My mum delved into her handbag - 

She was convinced that she owed Anne money - 

ITV3 waited for the evening -

The blinds were drawn against the sun -
