Hastings: neither all or nothing
I walked steep down
through Victorian house fronts
down the whole height of the
church steeple
and stood at the grey sea
wondering if there was good reason
to write of it, after all;
the houses
were now flats with nets knotted in the
windows and abandoned furniture
on the street, but look,
that corner building
built to the shape of bifurcating roads, oh
and the silver birch at the edge
of the pavement reaching
up into the blue
cleared sky and although I needn’t write it,
I do; and the roots of this small
tree have bulged the paviours
unnoticeably over the years
