Something about you

[Achebe]

Edit 2

Something about you
this morning, with the roses
blown delicately in the early winter
gardens, came to my mind.
My thoughts have nothing to do but amble,
on a dawn bus ride
past backyard and bramble,
through a fog bound city,
its blackened brick walls
left behind.
Something about it, this morning, in the gardens 
came to mind.

Something about you
this morning, with the roses
blown delicately in the early winter
gardens, came to my mind.
My thoughts have nothing to do but amble
on a dawn bus ride
past backyard and bramble
through a golden green city
in the autumn of a life
left behind.
Something about it, this morning, in the gardens 
came to mind.

Something about you
this morning, with the roses
blown delicately in the early winter
gardens, came to
my mind.
As I have nothing to do but ponder
on my dawn bus ramble
through suburban byways
on the gold-grey city
long left behind -
something about it, this morning, in the gardens 
came to my mind.
