Framed with the Roger McGough poem 'Sometime at dawn/you awake/and naked creep across/our orange room/and drawing aside/our pretty yellow curtains/gaze at the neat roofed horizon/of our little town/waiting for the sun/screaming with dull pain/to rise like a spark/from a crematorium chimney/then you pitterpad/back to bed/your head aflame with fear/you lie in my arms/and you lie:/'i'm happy here/so happy here'/Roger McGough'.
