Everything stops;

My mother lies here, high up in the downs.
Just on the down side of up she rests,
in woods, amongst ransome and wild chives.

Our Last Day Copyright © Jackie Carreira 2011

In the middle of the wheat
The wind made a noise like gravel down a pipe,
Covering our steps and sounds of distant engines

the EDL graffiti on a bookcase in the clap clinic expresses anger
where human life has been brought so low:
degradation of disease and humiliation of faith and race

I hear a whisper as I walk
In the shadow of the Cedars
A whisper as I sit beneath their boughs

and looked with awe as the sun rode on a dark indigo ledge.
Midnight blue it was, a foreboding dead straight line
