*Palms cup Mother-of-pearl To the ***** laugh Of a clean-limbed girl Whose teeth are white And whose lips are as fresh As lemon squeezed On living flesh, Beneath a salmon sky As the tide slides out And as we wash them down With velvet stout. Then she carves a heart That reads "Chips for 'rus" On the backseat of The East Kent bus. A choir boy And his girl guide Whose shell is rough But who's soft inside.
