Sandwell, 1st of June 1948

dying embers lightened up the sky today; as
reprisal renders her charred path in a timeless state; where
silence's presence is accompanied by a nightingale; and
frightening fragments transubstantiate into tidal waves,
- as Emma's wishful thinking dissipates.. on a crimson ray.

"Is it because of the loved one I betrayed?
Or is it because I never obliged to stay?
Mama, why didn't you tell me right away!"
The home once harbouring her childlike soul,
it bore her nascent pride out of mine and coal,
she would rise from the ashes with a revival of her own..
But right now..
There are tears in my eyes as I am trying to grasp the line to say,
"the..mining chamber, where my dear father p..slept away.."
- rising embers brightened up the sky today, in the Black Country.



* Black Country was one of the most industrialised parts of Britain during the Industrialised Revolution, with coal mines, steel mills, etc.
