First & Last Forever

A Memory of Land's End.

I have a photo of my glamorous mother in front of the First and Last House when three lines once sprawled across its roof—
F I R S T  &  L A S T
H O U S E   I N
E  N  G  L  A  N  D .She stands poised upon a rock
‘fore the plain structure amid stark sky.
Land’s End winds forever blow her hair—

The concept of a first and last house
first captured my mind when I was a child.
It will remain with me until my last breath.
