LNER ...

I murmured the letters -

LNER -

The long train left the city of dream memory -

I remembered the riverside terrace of Somerset a House -

The egg cast in bronze -

The fountains in the courtyard -

The melancholy river gods -


The edgelands are flying past -

Garages -

Golf courses -

Retail parks -


I'll seek out tea Anne says -

Tea will be seven carriages away -

She stands in the narrow aisle -

We judder and quiver -

The train's like a bucking bronco she says -
