Thankful for the rattle bag that passes for my mind
Mindful that I can juxtapose
The beautiful loves of my life
With little or no scene or argument
Grateful that I can let them be sprayed together
By the early mornings warm sunlight
Rarely does the bitterness rise to the surface
My mind has a smile that dilutes the pain to nought but
A dried up river bed, the sort you might find
Beside that idyllic country house, in the Pyrenees
From the Collection One Crow to a Tree - Love in Separate Houses available from Lulu
