WESTLAND ROW

I got out when the traffic cleared,

At Trinity Gate, I turned to watch Da

go, 

His car moved out, then disappeared, 

Off to the left and down thru

Westland Row.

"I'll meet you at the gate at one"

he said,

I hear him speak though many a year

he's gone, 

I see him scratching thoughtfully his

head,

Repeating a phrase from some 1940s

song. 

Sometimes, when I am passing by the

Gate,

Hoping Da will show up, I still wait..

Then in the traffic of my mind we go, 

Off to the left and down thru

Westland Row.
