Today
I could light a candle in a church
Recite a poem about gulls landing on the spars of old ships
Walk down to a cafe in country park
Stop by the stream where we scattered your ashes
Remember mum almost falling in, and laugh and cry
And eat chocolate cake.
Or walk to the Folly on top of the hill
With a bunch of flowers tied tightly in a purple ribbon
Picked from our garden.
Today I could stand on a sea shore
Stare out into the waves
Today I could remember you, cry for you.
But I'm not.
I'm going to Otley Folk Festival.
(It's my dads birthday today...which should explain this rather dreadful poem)
