Gazes downwards - 

He conjures a gaudy triceratops - 

 A primeval world in Macklin Road

Reed beds - 

Tide stealing in -

Memory touching all I see -

Turned up his collar - 

Walked as thuogh on his way to a hit - 

Like Alain Delon in some beautiful merciless film -

The silence - 

The line being cast -

We had words we could not say aloud - 

You held me close -

Your heart against mine - 

Harman's Cross

 I hear them - 

The yew trees - 

Whispering my name - 

Corfe Castle

 They play hot jazz - 

Sultry riff - 

Behind glass, on a corkscrew stair
