Thanks to the editor Jamie Dedes.
it really is very early, still the radio plays
softly not to wake the neighbour. he is
a quiet man. a farmer.
reckon it was four miles up over the hill
in a summer dress. settled that evening
to watch the war
of the worlds.
slept early,
woke early.
it is raining today.
