the woman from cork
the woman from cork was sinking
her husband had left her four years ago
she was missing him and at seventy five
life had pulled a cruel twist to their story
we walked with her along a rough coast path
the shrieks of the gulls blew away
but sadness hung like lead weight
a retired nurse she deserved better
than this and at this
we parted company and she walked on
it looked as if it might rain
