Do not expect applause
IMPLEMENTS IN THEIR PLACES- In part
1
Somewhere our belonging particles
Believe in us. If only we could find them.
2
Who calls? Don't fool me. Is it you
Or me or us in a faulty duet
Singing out of a glade in the wood
Which we would never really enter?
6
He has been given a chair in that
Timeless University.
The Chair of Professor of Silence.

I could know you if I wanted to.
You make me not want to.
Why does everybody do that?
16
Failures of love make their ghosts
Which float out from every object
The lovers respectively have ever
Sighed and been alive towards.
19
The fine edge of the wave expects.
Ireland Scotland England expects.
He She They expect. My dear
Expects. And I am ready to see
How I should never expect to
Enfold her. But I do expect.
21
When you were younger and me hardly
Anything but who is in me still
I had a throat of loving for you
That I can hardly bear can bear.
W.S. Graham 'New Collected Poems'
