(1) The Gardener. (2). The Cathedral.

                     1.

          The Gardener.


Blue Hyacinth for Mr. Thompson
        who died last night
   when the north wind skirled
          in shrieking fits
        that woke his wife
and smithereened the lattice porch
       beneath his window.


 A pompous man who, every Christmas,
sprinkled wine and words over seed trays
to invoke his dream of Easter, and then.
 white chubby fingers working overtime,
  stuffed spring bulbs into treacle tins
   and gave them to his neighbours.

  Blue Hyacinth for Mr. Thompson.
