I am Evelyn Waugh\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Grasping onto\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The glorious historical\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Past\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

All romance and whimsy\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shaking it for all might\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To savour\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In case\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It don\u2019 come back at all\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brown pale thrust\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Upright brushes and galing winds\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Clouds forming overhead\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shades of the green\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nursing slats\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Light on the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Bitumen\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Salt caked flaxed\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Strawberry blonde\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Against a blue metal frame\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Peals\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Around\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shaded<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Corners<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And legs up\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Against the post\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Doin\u2019 nuthin\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But watching the sky\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Move against\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Busted ground\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Underneath\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Makin\u2019 up me own\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Stories\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

That may not have\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Existed at all\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Holding on\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gathering the material\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

That makes it\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Back whole\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was like that with her\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Always\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing the magic\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Where maybe\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There was none\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not realising\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

That when she was gone\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So too was that<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sense we were\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Special\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In some way\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I keep\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Trying to grab something\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Case it\u2019s gone\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Collecting\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Clues\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll wrap something around it<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Caress the unknown\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And make it\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shiver\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throw it into the light<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And make them\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bet they\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Could tell you\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Just how they looked\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
