For my father by David Bircumshaw Back to browse author
Flemish bond, English bond, slap the trowel, plumb the line.
Six o'clock, on the dot, up and out, work's about.
It's seven quid a week and a ten bob note.
Billycan, in the hand, white outside, black within.
Morning come, frozen bone; night and home, frozen bone.
It's seven quid a week and a ten bob note.
Dawn and dusk: English bond; seven pound: frozen bound.
