A week's eternity© GERALD ENGLAND
drags on interminably
but quickly passes
in the quiescent pathos
Answers unhoped for
yet expected
are not expressed as such
but induced by nonchalance
Indifferent love
lies worse than hate
Fuel-deprived fires
soon cease to smoulder
The darkness
of the year's equinox
fails to foretell
any future fulfillment
Composed: Sheffield, 21st December 1970
