Abrupt
strange how the road turns
right before the big lychgate
hurtling down the long straight hill
the driver heaves the bus around
Drumbeg’s not really a place
no shop just a church
and a bus stop
on that same right angle bend
Bristow’s drive up to big house
old money
this is where the Malone Road ends
after Lady Dixon’s and the golf club
across the Lagan
there’s something ancient here
gone missing
