INVIGILATOR : DERBY UK
IN CALLING FORTH AND STRENGTHENING THE IMAGINATION
IN BOYHOOD AND EARLY YOUTH
photograph by kev ryan
by day or star-light
everlasting motion
he looked after me
sorted me out
with a good shovel
and a pair of wellingtons
the mean and vulgar
works of man
showed me how to dig
without hurting my back
to lay concrete slabs
write out betting slips
on a bag of cement
enduring things
life and nature
purifying
