is it your way of saying love
without saying so where x
marks so many spots
like my fingers travelling your spine
in the morning whilst you still sleep.is it some way of saying :
love isn't lost on us, not only photographs
and forgotten hairgrips in the glovebox --
tender to the touch -- hands and
engine oil as they tend [my skirt stained]
to be, and how they all make me smile still.(does it?) let my name loll in your head,
at the foot of the bed where a spider once crawled --
somewhere on your night drives
you'll see me sat cross-legged on the pavement,
waiting, watching as love washes up by the bay
one more time and i can say 'let's make a go of it'
for old times sake --(somewhere between late april and early may 2019)
