DIEPPE HARBOUR
Neither blue nor grey nor white
neither cloud nor sunshine nor shade
There the harbour
green grey
today.
There the tiny trees
by the ancient fort
too far to walk
but miniatured in my eyes
under yellow rose skies/
all is dark over there
yonder by the ancient fort
except that special light
a misplaced dawn light.
The bus does not come
but the grey cloud does
blotting out the blue but
leaving the early morning light
over by the ancient fort
for my delight/
