where it came true today,
from first poem to last,
when I glanced to my left
and you were there.

lighting matches;
askance, I
see them.

Never before a banker.
Or difficult, I reply, to weigh and find wanting.
Never before an accountant.
Hug, good life (I am lying), good life (you are lying, also);
threnody: ah this we recognise.

like soft words erode the

all things pixie dancing wild
and stripping bark to naked fillament:
things about to blossom.

Your eyelids in early morning opening
to dawn-cast sepia, every flower a dandelion,
each waterfront a lemon:
things soon fallen.

Oh love, the frenzy, the twist, flesh
disappearing upward, spiralling,
smeared under our eyes like painted tears:
things on fire.

till morning met the mast broiling upward
and life became a diet of limes
or swimming back to shore.

choreographies in preordained strokes), each
