The Sky-lit Room
A small Welsh town, 1966
A sky-lit kitchen window where, just two
floors up and on a rise, I thrilled upon
the past, the town.
That kitchen, Castle Terrace, had a view
of jumbled streets, of buildings joist-by-jowl
with history,
a past of stitched and soldered livelihoods,
of hardships, close-negotiated hopes,
a small town’s loom.
