Written:Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford | |
Sunday at six when they close both the gates | |
a widowed pair, | |
still sitting there, | |
Wonder if they're late for church | |
and it's cold, so they fasten their coats | |
and cross the grass, they're always last. | |
Passing by the padlocked swings, | |
the roundabout still turning, | |
ahead they see a small girl | |
on her way home with a pram. | |
Inside the archway, | |
the priest greets them with a courteous nod. | |
He's close to God. | |
Looking back at days of four instead of two. | |
Years seem so few (four instead of two). | |
Heads bent in prayer | |
for friends not there. | |
Leaving twopence on the plate, | |
they hurry down the path and through the gate | |
and wait to board the bus | |
that ambles down the street. |
