long one o’clock on the garden furniture
[...] we spoke in the branches, hidden by leaves,
until it was way past midnight
and we let the candles glitter
in their cages of broken
party light glass. [...]
Melt
[...] The rough balsam of summer heat,
Shot through with grit,
Leaves slick and sweaty all it touches [...]
Dark noon at Gwithian
[...] rocks sit black and hunched
their faces turned
to an unruly sea,
creased as if blinking with disappointed eyes. [...]
The Window Seat
[...] You sit upon the window seat,
One leg up, your brown foot bare
And your ankle half-bent. [...]
The rain has come
[...] Heat, perhaps, dumbed the world.
Silent and doltish, we sweltered. [...]
London Boy
[...] Vauxhall at three a.m.
Should not be romantic,
But is rather.
We watch unsavoury things
Bob on the black river
And you voice a craving for kadhi
We could not possibly get
Anywhere at this time in the morning. [...]
