Shadows of middle-age larking around within the mind of
Philip, as he sees the elderly, mouths drooling, and
is fearful of this watery reflection of
skewed ripples, of the spades digging into his own
disintegration.
By Jay Cool, 18th August 2022
Inspired by snippets of Philip Larkin´s poetry, as featured on BBC Four´s Return to Larkinland.

Freelance writer and descendant of the cave dweller and outlaw, Humphrey Kynaston. Banished from Shropshire for my eccentricity, I have made my home in Suffolk. I write poetry, short stories, travel journals, comedy gig reviews and non-fiction articles. My wish is to write my way back into the heart of my birth land. All writing commissions (and free holidays in Shropshire!) considered.
