Will Fraser: ‘Rear Vision’ and ‘Voice’

Rear Vision

Navigating
the highways
roundabouts and
cul-de-sacs of
memory
in order to
retrace the route back to
you
to
us
and
that season of sunbeams and rainbows when
we
in our blissful rapture
imagined that
our affair of the heart
would,
like the open road,
go on forever

Will Fraser

Voice

And
at length
he
had lost
her
just by being himself
when she had responded by
taking up with someone new
to become
first person
us
the personal circumstances
in retrospect
striking him
a traditionalist as
highly irregular, albeit
grammatically correct.
