Held in winter’s
expectant grasp, she led
her quiet
dance across snow fields, cold
Winter Solstice swallowed
in whole flame
wild fire like a circle, arms held
wide, easy
Does it matter, should it matter, how we were
in love, spinning under an October sky
Coupled like
lambs at Newgrange we
leaped
through mirrored
frames following sun
rays
right down the line toward a blind
horizon
beyond any
barrier they tried to hold us in
we remained
oblivious to their foolish lies
though someone else might realise
it wasn't time
Head bent close,
breath held tight, you said
I wish you peace in your heart and that was
all
I needed to feel
at home in the corner of
my sky
Where thoughts
reside in simultaneous parallel
and all seasons bloom together as
one great turn
Oak and Ash holding together one year into
another
2021 left us before 2022 had begun its own
song
The ship song it was they sang as we waved
a fond farewell
to all that had come before, bricks
and mortar holding
together fast as atom two
clutches atom three
and one in its tender embrace
and they sang Hari Ram over and over
which
made you frown
but it don’t bother me,
I fell
into ocean view and lost
myself. Is it just me
running on this Night train at Sundown waiting
for Sunset to wrap me in her
arms until I can
dance with somebody other than Charlie and
his soft dinosaur - most treasured telepath and seer
