The Inkwell

Salford , 12th August 2021

He’s back home again,

heading through the gap in the gate – like nothing’s happened

Having spent many hours of yesterday evening and this morning

Hotfooting around his old haunts and

Helping himself to the finer things

His city can offer him – you know the stuff

Hotel and guesthouse kitchens tend to throw out…it’s a

Hunter’s delight if you know where to look

Heaven only knows what he’s been enjoying while you’ve been

Held fast in your bed – everything from

Hot Salmon to Fried cod.
