Rose about nine, read Captain Corelli
But still twenty pages from the end when
Time came to go down to West Didsbury
To collect my mum’s picture in its brown
Frame, then on to Wilmslow, and Josephine
We had brunch at Sainsburys in Salford
Then on to the skating rink in Swinton
Parked and waited, and played as the snow poured
Slipping, sliding, pushing, pulling, then scored
Lines across the ice with our blades, quickly
Picking up how to stay on our feet. Then
Said ‘See you after Christmas!’ Time to head
Back into Manchester to see Pearl; we
Had curry in Rusholme, and home by ten
