Grey Park


Hands in my pockets
O, why do I wear such thin coats?
My breath is now talking
The exorcism of old ghosts
The bench is my lover
Waves to me in chipped colours
You've been with some others
Alive with Dukes and Murderers

The man up the Millway
Conquistador now conquered
Been waiting since morning
For a bus that he preferred
Years of good service
And Honours from the Commonwealth
Now he's without purpose
A single flat and failed health

The Poet Musician
Plays to crowds of fallen leaves
Although she is distant
I understand her heart grieves
Her morbid obsession
Wind and melody intertwined
She left an impression
Until I paid her no mind

In Grey Park, nothing here is new
In Grey Park, home to just a few

The Cat now approaches
Where've you been my feline friend?
And what are your motives?
Stalking low around the bend
A grey mackerel tabby
Gimp in leg and missing eye
Limps back to West Abbey
Having stronger faith than I

A coughing behind me
The whisky lingers on his breath
He's asking for money
I look away as though I'm deaf
He sits down beside me
Though silence made the distance far
He turned and surprised me
His face was quite familiar...

In Grey Park, everything's the same
In Grey Park, or any other day
In Grey Park, blending with the rain
In Grey Park, different shades of grey
