The world’s a place of cups of tea

Flowers on tables, strange summer skies

(Changing and changing) and mainly for me

Colours that come from Alison’s eyes

No colours emerge, the world is monochrome

But raise your lids and make hope hot

And brightness makes the world its home

And creatures dull and wan like me

Live in a kaleidoscope for free.

All woman can mean from mother to minx

When I remember boyhood dreams I’m sad

That all I would accomplish was not done.

‘Not all’? I might more truthfully say...
