24 September
This, too, was written in the session at Murray Edwards College, but not read out during it - it's late, and I forget in what the inspiration for it lay, other than a phrase in a song to which people are dancing in one of the clips and which is quoted.
New Year, Damascus
We know the road there
– Think we do –
And (maybe?) the way back
But when did we know of
Your country, know that others
Travel there – to party?
The women dance, as the words
Sing – behind them – ‘Even your hell
is heaven’:
Faint echoes of
Shakespeare –
Or of Blake?
