So this morning I could hear geese chuntering away down on the Severn, while I was still in bed. I leapt out and grabbed some clothes and went down to see them….I was more than rewarded with a wonderful sunrise, thoght the geese had flown up-river. Here’s a short powm I worte, and a video to prove that time is truly different in my part of the world! (turn the video sound up loud!)
River Time is Different
The geese call
I run down
To the river
To see, too late
Now out of sight
I hear them
A honking, jeering
Rowdy cacophony
The racing river
Seems to pause
When a leaf falls then
Floats away to sea
The church bells
Ring out the hours
I know this moment
Then the clock bells
Ring out
River time
Is different
In Newnham
The Film
