A love in verse

Wot a Girl

1991-04-02
Performed by
Lydia Wilson

She climbs in the car

Fag in mouth and hair in wind

Fiddles with the door and waves

Having caught my eye.

Returns, complaining “cold”

Black trousers, karate jacket

Finds a scarf and has a word

Goes back to the car

And I think “never say die”

I love her a lot.

Life Blessed

The sweet-peas that she gathers 

Are destined for some jar

She walks the garden, scissors in hand...

“I Love Alison”

Darkness has won - though street-lamps soldier on 

Still overall oblivion’s in the sky

Thick and ruthless enemy of the eye...
