Moon Over Armley 

 

An angry cloud converses with the lunar.

The sixpence sphere will always rise above.

In Armley prison darkness arrives sooner.

A tarpaulin that suffocates love.

I know Armley prison, but only from the outside.

Looking at it from near the Albion, even with a couple of pints ot Tetley's inside me, it seemed like the darkest place on Earth.

Evocative. Re the prison, I wonder if there are some who work or visit there who bring in a spot of love. Rhiannon
