THE SORROW OF THE HALF DREAM
If she still walked on planet Earth
Peter Clarke
would she still flibertigibbet along
and would she be out there in middle age
with banners and flags and arguments
and would her children be like whirlwinds
as she was flying about the place
all bright and shouty and moody
bringing our current brood out
and leading them into all kinds
of divillment and wreaking havoc
and who would have sired them
that big Latin-European boy maybe
and to where in the world would
we have chased to be with them
early morning half sleep memory
whips up a whirlwind of panic
as if it were just yesterday
we first learned of her going
