Afternoon Out
By Kay Syrad
Inspiration piece
I think nothing here, lying on the stones, listening to the water’s twillup on my left and its huhhuhwilla on my right,
and at one point, a singing starts up in my head, ‘I stole my mother’s…’, and this is after sitting beneath the defences,
the wind on my flesh, and walking back past a hedge of noisy birds and a secret message on the long fence:
O WPCA/PNSY/LB33/ AK/ Y / 25 x 50 which I find I can translate, later, as:
dress sift wind of I / sails rise must love / I trade loss over fall/
I you /ask love’s more fail / fall is haven / this this all
