A Woman of Bloomsbury

Rocks

on the bottom

of the River Ouse

are stained

with ink

of stories

unwritten

You read

the last page

went to bed

woke

in the night

with tears

in your eyes

You wish

you could

have saved her

you wish

you could

save

them all

You stand

at the kitchen

window

watch

a woman

walk her dog

in the chill
