Hill Station

9


Sloped driveway under white 
flanks of columns. 

A curved staircase?
 
A friend's father 
played in the jazz band
for years.

Gummy potatoes,
boiled peas, meat
in gravy under
a silver cloche.

Bingo some nights.

Windows overlooking 
a square where now 
young telemarketers sit
drinking Starbucks 
after their shift.
