The marvellous garland
When I came into the world
there were no special signs
no double rainbows
showers of flowers
or conch shells
sounding in dreams
only a small listing
in a local paper:
a son
headlines:
Cold War nuclear tensions
and la dolce vita
my mother’s body
an overcast November
afternoon, 1958
