| Our diaries squatted toad like | E |
| On dark closet ledges | A |
| Forget me not and thistle | F |
| Decalcomaned the pages | A |
| But where where are they now | G |
| All the sad squalors | A |
| Of those between wars parlors | A |
| Cut flowers and the sunlight spilt like soda | B |
| On torporous rugs the photo | H |
| Albums all outspread | H |

| There was an hour when daughters | A |
| Practiced arpeggios | A |
| Their mothers awkward and proud | H |
| Would listen smoothing their hose | A |
| Sundays half past five | J |
| Do you recall | K |
| How the sun used to loll | L |
| Lazily just beyond the roof | M |
| Bloodshot and aloof | M |
| We thought it would never set | H |
| The dead don t get | H |
| Around much anymore | I |

| Eternity resembles | A |
| One long Sunday afternoon | N |
| No traffic passes the cigar smoke | E |
| Curls in a blue cocoon | N |
| Children have you nothing | E |
| For our cold sakes | A |
| No tea No little tea cakes | A |
| Sometimes now the rains disturb | O |
| Even our remote suburb | O |
| There s a dampness underground | H |
| The dead don t get around | H |
| Much anymore | I |
