Give me shortbread,
and a green photo book.
Give me walks to town,
and a sunlit turtleshell hedge.
Give me bridge, a footpath,
and a railway of straight silver lines.
Give me snow, streetlighting,
and a stranger in cigarette smoke.
Give me a tree, an angle,
and a fog soft statue.
Give me a studded bridge,
and diagonals cast by the sun.
Give me tumbledown docklands,
and a crane abandoned for kids.
Give me clouds, a holiday,
and sun bluelighting their games.
