Mersey View pleasure grounds
The crag walk and the long skirts with vertigo,
they hang over the edge
or press too close to their escorts.
It is not what I expected.
The train ride from Lime Street and a change,
traps were available from the station
but we climbed.
We were dressed for it.
And now every device for giddiness greets us.
A fair up here on the viewpoint:
swing boats where one can tumble against each other
mirrors that distort shapes, shooting,
fortunes told, the grass pressed and hot
after a whole summer of this.
Nowhere to breathe so we walk the rocks
to look back up to estuary and home.
On the way avoiding others
you grind initials onto soft sandstone.
