I wanted to graze my noseacross the tip of your nose, play atbeing Eskimos like we did when15 you were little. I resisted the impulseto run my fingers through the gelledblackthorns of your hair. All my wordsflattened, rolled, turned into felt slowly melting. I was brave, as I walkedwith you, to the front door, threwit open, the world overflowinglike a treasure chest. A split secondand you were away, intoxicated.25 After you’d gone I went into your bedroom,released a song bird from its cage.Later a single dove flew from the pear tree,and this is where it has led me,skirting the church yard walls, my stomach busy30 making tucks, darts, pleats, hat-less, withouta winter coat or reinforcements of scarf, gloves. On reaching the top of the hill I tracedthe inscriptions on the war memorial,35 leaned against it like a wishbone.The dove pulled freely against the sky,an ornamental stitch, I listened, hoping to hearyour playground voice catching on the windWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
