Ride

The wind blows with gusto

It blusters across the warm garden

If this had been an holiday romance

The loss, or sense of it, would already be upon us


The warm winds of the wet Atlantic

The thrashing storms of Regis seas

Sixpence in the bubble-gum machine

A parachute slow hanging from the citrus tree


In joy we seek out shadows

In sorrow a search for somewhere light

That is why, for us, we ride the roller coaster

That is why we step upon the magic bus


In my deckchair

Beside meadow grass and mistletoe

To read a book of passionate poetry

Rapture; yes, I do remember
