Edith's house ...

We met Martha and Dorcas in the Yay Cafe -

There was a woolly bicycle hanging from the wall -

A painting of Edith Sitwell in a pristine room -


This I thought, was once her house -

I said the three names -

Edith -

Osbert -

Sacheverell -


There she was in the painting -

A red turban -

Her thin clever mouth -

That nose -

Those grey blue hooded eyes -
