James Weddell’s Reviews > Bedouin of the London Evening: Collected Poems > Status Update

These Februaries, full of draughts and cracks,
They belong to the people in the streets, the others
Out there - haberdashers and writers of menus.
Salt breezes! Bolsters from Istanbul!
Barometers, full of contempt, controlling moody isobars.
Sumptuous tittle-tattle from a summer crowd
That's fed on lemonades and matinees.
