My breath
Blows the candles out
My hand
Winds the blind open
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by
Wallace Stevens
Let the fish go
I hung-on
To our sea-fret moorings
Now I talk of Saturday’s sunlight
In what is the overlong season of mists
Looking for a thought
With which
To begin the day
A place perhaps
Or a wave lapping
On a sun-soaked beach
Looking for a light
With which
To illuminate the idea
To present a future
From the past
Or maybe the present
You are here
Here in this house
Here, in this room
We sit together
In meditation
Also, in the bedroom
We lay together
To become closer
More-so than in love
Finding my feet
Friday morning’s flight
Giving all
To the new direction
Met at the airport
Taken to the shops
Then onto Mon Plaisir
For a close and warm embrace
