Pyramids In Garston
No obsolete Egyptian structures these:
Go inside
And you wont find Nerfititi,
Tutankhamun or Rameses
And all their worldly goods piled high;
NO, what you'll see
Are three prisms of glinting glass
Cooly reflecting sky,
And which contain
Something akin to paradise: a panoply
Of all things natural,
Rare and beautiful: mosses, lichens,
Flowers, trees; birds, bees
And butterflies -
................... and all this here,
Where wanton dereliction used to be;
Where Mersey waters knew
Nothing beyond a vast neglected loneliness
Broken only by
The odd abandoned car or two,
The remnants of a late-night take-away.
Why here? you ask. Why not? I say.
What better use, what better place than this:
Pyramids in Garston.
So close your eyes. Imagine it.
Make it come true.
