Soon on the Road.
I’m in Limbo
…that place between
the spaces in the world
Packing the car…not packed at all
Cleaned it a bit…not clean at all
old thing .. a country car..
replaced the mule…
Has travelled well thru’ France …
To Portugal… and Spain..
Worn seats with
bits of turf and bits of earth.
Some garden leaves blew in
Took root
but I don’t mind a bit…though
Others could.
So …
what will I bring
in my old car to London Town ?
Some plums ?
Arriving from country side
manure…and silage whiffs
bird droppings on the roof
I love it…
ha ha ha…
what an aromatic hoot..
….but
London knows me well
And I know it.
Still…I’ll remain in Limbo
all day today…
until I catch the Rosslare Boat
And sail across the waters
to the shores of Wales
and then be on my way.
