At Woodend ...

I walked through the knot garden at Woodend -

Pristine light fell on the geometry of laurel and box -

I saw a distant reef of white hotels -

The northern sky was a pale cloudless blue -

Inside Woodend, I would wait with Wallace for Sophie - 

Amazonian girls would decorate the high ceiling room -
