A love in verse

Bus 391

Hello, my light! The 391 is hurrying,

The trees whizz by the window and the air

(Conditioned) is quite cool – all’s well, no worrying

About our being apart – I’ll soon be there.

Happy I am! You’re extraordinarily lovely,

The whole of you’s a sweet, comely delight.

Now by the bus stop I tell the stars above me

Their beauty’s bettered, and I thread the night 

In trains and buses urging them to fly

Through star – and streetlight – I must kiss or die!

Spring

This is the first Spring I remember

I don’t feel hope. You died in spring

And surely that one kept an ember...

Home

It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.

The street is quiet. Voices very dear

Reach up the stairs...
