Valerie - Andrew Jamison

You'd been asleep and missed the tea and coffee cart.
Through the carriage it was all sunlight and quiet

(I'd been rubbing the sleep out of my eyes)
as both of us missed the minutes silence

that Sunday morning. Glasgow to Edinburgh.
And you were wearing what I took for a pashmina:

breathtaking, while wreaths were laid round cenotaphs
at Passchendaele, Marseilles, Nice, Nantes, Ypres.
