Found in Selected Poems Michael Hofmann
The new south east cemetery
is approximately nowhere
ten stops by underground then bus
zigzagging through the suburbs
as bad as Dachau and you end up
still getting out a stop early
at the old south east cemetery
on which it abuts tenements
market gardens expressways and then
it's huge carp in the ponds gardeners
drunks rolling on the paths fighting
lavender and roses round the corner
is a cafe with an upstairs
long long tables and slabs of cakes
