Dear Sheila, many thanks for that reaction.
It was - what can I say - a way of trying to encapsulate feelings,
thoughts after having caught up with a lot of old friends from Sydney
last week - which each and severally affected me more than I had
realised. Age, distance, and walking home afterwards.
And each word ending each line came variously from poems I was also
reading within this week, from poems that struck me.
Sometimes it's the way stuff comes together.
Best,
Jill
