That day
A Friday afternoon
You
Home from your work
In excitement you asked
Could I come out
Out with you
Soon
The canvas
Above the fireplace
Sits in the study
Or in the sitting room
Your eyes
Full of life
Full
Of joy
You humour
My trousers
The braced up
Corduroy
Out over the cornfields
The violet hue
A substitute for rapeseed
This season new
My how the Wolds wield
In the late
Then later
Summer’s afternoon
The cloth cut suit
On our date
Worn not one moment
Not one moment too too soon
That way
Dressed for the occasion
The poppies
They are in bloom
And you would say
Hey
Please
Won’t you, please, share my room
Be there
With all of your excitement
To wear
Your love of life
I forgot to mention the tree
In the middle of the picture
Which we photographed
From the edge of the field
