Walk with steady footsteps
Walk over the peoples bridge
Walk over the Millennium Bridge
Should we wake in piles of Egyptian cotton
Wake with sensate satiate breath
Wake over two peoples; two peoples bridge
Ache over two peoples Millennia Ridge
Then down to a chancery garden
Down beside the sea-spray
Astride the zest of life
Where we could fake our own disappearance
For a summer afternoon
With Cezanne, or Picasso
Or Monet
On his bridge at Giverny
Would we shake our own forbearance
For a hazy swoon
With our own bare canvas, our other
John Bunyan
A smile with a skip
A hand slid softly through the golden hair
There right beside the fountain
With splashed stone flags of intimate surprise
Laid side by side in perfect fit
Touched at all points of the compass
Touched all ways on the curved surface
Of this spherical sphere
A maypole, a stream of coloured string
A garland, a smile, a chance embrace
In love with innocence
Ever with which to carry with you
No greater gift to share
From here and from childhood
From here and from everywhere
From here and always, all the way to eternity
From here and always
From here and all ways
All ways to two people's
Two people's Millennia Ridge
