simon armitage - about his person lyrics

Loading...

five pounds fifty in change, exactly,
a library card on its date of expiry.

a postcard stamped,
unwritten, but franked,

a pocket size diary slashed with a pencil
from march twenty-fourth to the first of april.

a brace of keys for a mortise lock,
an -n-logue watch, self-winding, stopped.

a final demand
in his own hand,

a rolled up note of explanation
planted there like a spray carnation

but beheaded, in his fist.
a shopping list.

a givaway photgraph stashed in his wallet,
a kepsake banked in the heart of a locket.

no gold or silver,
but crowning one finger

a ring of white unweathered skin.
that was everything.
