Poem by Mary Hobson

* * *

I used to be afraid of death.
Oh happy, happy fear,
when I had everything to lose
and all my love was here.

I’ve only lost a part of it.
There’s plenty more to take.
But I must part with all of it
before I lose this ache.

1. Laundry Blues
2. The Counsellors
3. Summer in Zaraisk or Who wrote Shakespeare?
4. Waterloo Station
5. Now I will always know that you died
