Summer In The City

We’re not sorry to be leaving the city.
Having a choice of restaurants is handy
and being able to get all you need
from the big shops is, indeed, a luxury.
But the soothing sea and miles of beach
will soon be within reach. The vast
open sky, no longer a backdrop
for tower blocks, nor lit by neon,
will be visible through our wide window.
This visit to the city won’t be our last
but as we leave it we’re ready to go.
