1 brief stop for lunch
England 3, Scotland 2
white flagpoles on the border
north of Berwick
2 Man seen in Princes Street
Blue woolly hat,
side-on cadaverous cheekbones
attractive
An hour later
full face tragic and gaunt
in Rose Street
3 from a coffee shop in Nicolson Street
Scarlet 'Shelter' embroidered shirts
Callow compassion, clipboard questioning
of white-cockaded mid-teen cadets
forcing pedestrians into the gutter.
4 from the Hotel du Vin
Window table overlooking
urinal style white tiles
candle flames echoing repetition
beyond the black horizoned blind
I think the 'urinal style tiles' might have put me off my dinner!
ReplyDeleteRest of the room was good - I've since discovered it was the city asylum - and the food and company excellent :)
