August 18th

slender chimney stacks

gothic fume blackened brickthroats

parched in the star blaze

It was too hot to get the train, so me and D walked back from Arsenal to St Pancras, down the Caledonian Road, towards Pentonville. This was the area my parents first lived in when they came to England.

It was a relief when we finally saw the myriad chimneys of St Pancras station over the rooftops. What a building. So glad it’s still there, such a landmark, so beautiful.

July 20th

the clouds begin at

the mouth of the dull chimneys

spewing in drizzle

Ferrybridge Power Station (I think), Yorkshire. Taken on the Motorway, heading towards Leeds.
