Salford, 3rd January 2017
in response to the prompt
The streets I knew have long since gone
covered up by flagstones and tarmac.
Veterans of those halcyon days
now sit broken tween two sets of fenceposts
Communities cast off
to towering islands
boxed up accommodation
piled up to the sky
Old friends apart
separated by miles
distanced by development
making moneymen smile
And newcomers have
no sense of history
except for the old hall to the west
with its gardens and trees
