afternoon visit
to the church of St Peter
in Hope valley.
we check each stone
Elliot, Eyre,
Hobson, Shallcross,
Septimus Allenenshaw
and his son, Septimus,
all forgotton
with ivy over their graves.
Alas, we never found Reg and Kitty
aning the weathered markers
not even in the little cemetery
or the unlabelled woodland plots.
