Stephen Kingsnorth
David Frank, died 18 months,
buried Hither Green Cemetery, London

no metric here, nor room to stretch
our bairn contracted to a space,
a span for bridge to other place.
These sods, the clods of earthly turf
for now the resting case, boxed bones,
but hither, green green grass of home.
