Excursion
Shining ginger brown
heavy doors and windows
a bygone age
waiting in the autumn sun
an afternoon in Wales.
Pride in every brush stroke,
doors ajar to cool
before the ride
Aberystwyth bound.
Two-foot tracks
bifercate across the yard
cameras clicking welcome
clanking pistons, hiss of steam
now we're ready, climb the steps
shut the doors, here comes the guard.
Return to child-hood days
nostalgia, steam and smoke.
Devils-Bridge and aching legs
tea and cakes at four.
