Harmonica. Gun.



Under the yew tree in the garden

waiting for my fingers

in the litter of needles

hiding quiet in the shadow of a derelict tree house

comes the archaeology of two boys.

One a dead shot, the other the player of sweet tunes.



Buried, forgotten, these sediments of then,

primitive tools for children?s fingers, artefacts of early men.

Fossily toys, now accidentally unearthed.

And I finger off the dirt, lay them out like bodies exhumed

or bones discovered or detectored treasure. On a kitchen towel.

Precisely. Purposefully. To see again the beginning of things.
