Poetry

Even here. Even now the heavy industry
of the everyday, making to be unmade,
where a word is the world between us.

It follows you everywhere,
I think, even this hillside
of mint and yellow gorse
on the far side of the sea,

I was sitting at a banquet table before the awards ceremony. 
A distinguished character actor, who narrated the PBS documentary
I saw last night, entered the banquet hall in a white jacket.
