Gluttony took hold - at the sight of Wiveton Hall's Strawberries
- earthy,thick and sweet / ...walking at Freshes,
beneath my toes (hush!) the first sprigs
of Samphire/ from a shed down a Blakeney alley
...Fresh Dressed Crab/
beneath my toes (hush!) the first sprigs
of Samphire/ from a shed down a Blakeney alley
...Fresh Dressed Crab/
...and from a farmyard in Hindol'/ the first broadbeans
small, raw-sweet as peas... and half a dozen Welsummer eggs/ terracotta red.
An afternoon, a eulogy to Norfolk roadside wares.
