The Park Opposite Charing Cross Hospital
by Edward Barker
We lie on the grass with our Pret bag. A plane tree’s leaves cast faint shadows on the grass. When she gets cold, she moves back into pale sunlight.
That faun speckle of the plane bark. The faint rustle of papery leaves. Mongrels, labradors, retrievers, tails wagging furiously, chase each other, leap for balls. Still efficient, she hands me back some paperwork, the cash books, a stack of envelopes. We talk about her garden, about plants, how they live from the heart, how the mind, with all its planning waits in fear, but the heart, faithful donkey (and —fuck— like peeing myself I have to look away) hasn’t the faintest how to be afraid. The dogs. The plane tree.

Saltimbanques
by Guillaume Apollinaire
trans. A.S. Kline
The strollers in the plain walk the length of gardens before the doors of grey inns through villages without churches And the children gone before The others follow dreaming Each fruit tree resigns itself When they signal from afar They have burdens round or square drums and golden tambourines Apes and bears wise animals gather coins as they progress
