The fragrance of cut grass, mowed after rain, gave voice to memory -
I stood, with my white cap of years, under the August apples -
I remembered sunbathing on a lawn in Putney, a leggy boy in a kindly garden -
There were books and soft voices inside the house -
Upstairs a young woman lay in her deep bath -
Her name is now lost to me, but not the colour of her skin and hair -
