Dorchester

Between the airport
& the bachelor flat
“Would you care to call here
It's a while before we will be back”

Overjoyed at how you liked the space
& how this band of Old England 
So well & truly suited you

We could have stayed longer
We could have stayed over

Except that your excitement
To be at my place, lustful
Your desire grew and grew

Between the blue door and the bedsit
It wouldn't have worked if I'd stayed
“Should you care ever to call here
It'd bring a smile on, she said, looking back”
