"Henge" is an excerpt from a project I'm doing at the minute about a field on the outskirts of Norwich. It traces it's history from neolithic times when a huge wooden henge was built there, to the present day and the electricity power station which is situated a hundred yards or so from the site of the henge.<br />

<br />
He spent his days dreaming of leaving<br />
and he remembered the stories he’d been told,<br />
of how the city shone at night,<br />
and how the streets were paved with gold<br />
<br />
So he sold off everything he owned<br />
and he hit the road with his trusty cat -<br />
he had no compass, guide or chart<br />
but never once thought of turning back<br />
<br />
He hitched lifts and he stowed away,<br />
he cut through fences in the dark,<br />
he begged for money in shop doorways,<br />
he slept on benches in the park<br />
<br />
He sold the cat to buy some food<br />
and the promise of a  passport from a man he knew,<br />
he was told there’ll be a job for you<br />
if you pay up front – but that fell through<br />
<br />
The last anyone saw of him,<br />
he was sleeping rough near Trafalgar square -<br />
he ruined the feng-shui of the street,<br />
but when the police arrived he wasn’t there<br />
