It was a particular night
When it was the quarter moon that moved & not the planets
when
the gases of Jupiter were ignite
The Sun had burnt out
We were balancing on an
ice-age
we could have fallen either way
it was your mind versing mine
Exploding was
I
Vesuvius I
with emotional activity
You were the rock
you were the
lava
Spilling from my sides
& you when my mind was tired
My body weak
My face
sad
My soul torn
You put the music back on
You Cradled Me!
You
covered my face in laugh lines
you covered my face in crows feet
you covered my face in
kisses
U cradled me
You are the bark of a dog
warning it's master
You are
the melody in the chimes
You are the view from my back door
Looking out on to
a
galaxy of gardens
where flowers bloom & perfume
