Green Park

walking through Bath city streets in the morning,
still high so that honey-coloured stonework
is magical and towering

then milling around in a supermarket until
10am allowed us all to hand over £4
for a bottle of red wine each for breakfast

and we lay on the bank rolling joints
swigging from the bottles, in hot sunshine
watching Ollie proclaim

line after line of Shakespeare
from his beautiful, expressive mouth
and Gould was quietly humming something

such big happiness and I think of it
as the sun beats in this cottage window
and I make breakfast for my children

then hang the laundry and watch it flap
as I sip from a mug of tea my
 contentment rises like sap
