'a document'

lived in this house from 1952-60, returned for short or long periods of
time over the next 51 years. so this was, after the cleaning, the final
stay, and because it, and the landscape and river and coal, figured so
much in my work, i took a last 'walk around the block' in the middle of
the night, talking about a departure-event which often passes unnoticed,
and so is hereby recorded. please forgive the maudlin, the sentimental;
given my state of mind, i was lucky to make the walk and recording at all.

thus 'a document.'
