From the book: MIDNIGHT RAINBOW
Bridge on the Teign Valley Road
It wasn’t badly damaged
A headlight was
dangling, the bumper was crushed
I drove him home
‘Home in five minutes,
Mr Baker’
He didn’t say anything
Not a word, just stared
out of the windscreen
One week later, those
same eyes
Would stare at the
inside of his coffin lid
Remembering Mr Baker’s accident after the death of
his wife
