Circum circa
Circa a European Year of Revolutions,
of Kossuth and Cavour and Louis Napoleon's Eighteenth Brumaire,
when Chartists massed, faintly tinted in life colours,
in the first known crowd photograph
and a grim economist fused a hissing manifesto,
one man found everything to lose,
one man preserved
by the Heanor and District Historical Society,
one man who might have been
co-patrilineal
to this one, scribbling here, a bone trace of age unstated,
Joseph of my surname, asphyxiated (circa)
1848 at a firedamp lit hard seam at Loscoe pit.
