#2,561 River Lawn
It was called River Lawn for
a reason –
Sussex floods –
a
given
[with options to over
deliver over time –
& fools’ll
descry] –
do not build here –
each winter they deny rises
in river levels –
cliffs will fall
& salt will settle in pastures
with each leapt ingress –
my
home is high above flows &
shallow concerns –
I said –
if
I was to build here it’d float
& be moored –
I left no rope
