Poetry: Good night, Ilsley
April 10, 2025
By Ted Scheu
Good night, Ilsley, our old friend.
With thanks and admiration
we’ll watch with eager eyes and hearts
your budding transformation.
Last month your weary doors swung shut.
For sixteen months, we’ll wait,
full-knowing they will swing again
to help us celebrate.
