Museum Café
The Café with the view
of graveyard and garden.
Tree and tomb together.
A child plays
close to ghosts
in the undergrowth.
A squeaking pram-wheel
offers the sound of its imperfect motion
to old bones,
worn head-stones
and fading family inscriptions.
An orange Frisbee delights the dog
who later lifts
her leg to history.
