Two
Young friends
on a garden swing
All those long years past
Swinging up high as they dare
Until knees would bend no more
Ground became as far away as stars
And there we surrendered to the universe
Marvelling at all it's menacing ogre
from a hunting bedroom owl
Before that curtain fall
Into our carefree days
interrupted only by
ice creamed
chimes.

I’d never noticed the blemish before
Right there by the dew on her thigh
I’d never noticed it before even close
But then who leaves the light on.

I’m that hungry with love for you
That I would eat you all up
Particularly your dessert
In perfect harmony
I’d leave the cream pie
Until last.

I know where you live
You live at the end of the sea.
All the way to uncharted waters
And undreamt shores
Then I who is of this colour.
Circles you count from a solitary pebble.
I who wave after wave surrendered to your insatiable Jade
He who waited to be mounted in patient stillness an uncalming beast.
I know where you live.
You live at the end of the sea.
