If I know

by Judith Taylor

where to get sloes at the end of summer
(just a pocketful, just
enough for gin)

and where the unwanted comfrey
isn’t sprayed
and can be cut for compost

where to go for a cheap
replacement watch-strap
and for cheap, reliable car repairs

and which shop
is which if you’re after one
particular beer

is that enough that I can say
(and after all this time)
honestly
yes
I live here?
