'scape, 2016, 20th century, 4*, bay window, buildings, Eastbourne, grey, history, hope, life, looking, promise, rooftops, shops, storey, time, white
stories above shop fronts look
outwards bay and grey, their white
capped finials preserved in spike
for the due middle between the
beginning of ground floor promise
and the rooftop end of ‘hope for things to come’
