The past was always tense

and the future even tenser.
Starts and finishes,
beginnings, endings
roost only in our minds and grammar.
Nothing is ever clear, or cut,
or clear-cut...shadings and shadows,
clamour and ignorance,
mass-graves and meadows,
plague-pits and glamour,
no good, no bad.
Newborns are angry.
Why should women not be sad ?
