London
you held my hand
in the crowd
I led you gently
we walked through Saturday
saw the city
opening like tulips
we shared our food
in Brick Lane
Brasserie
you slept
on the train
head on my shoulder
it felt like love
tasted like love
looked like love

reasons still unclear
on light
recognisable
though decades lie between us
water broken moon

Sunday afternoon
Rod Stewart murdering Bob's
'Mama, you've been on my mind'
my slow Guinness cool
as a mountain stream
just like the advert for menthol cigarettes said
days expanding, crocuses sprout
headlights splash through puddles
and yes, you're on mine
but I've already forgotten when
in April your birthday is

memory dream moon
time circuit repetition

new moon's countless stars
given moment to sparkle
which have you become?

n.b. We come from stardust, we become stardust. Look up. We are still with you.

pink sky in morning
matches eyes dragged through night by

n.b. ‘I’ll sleep on the train’ he thought, ‘Adapt and survive.’ He repeated his mantra, laughing at Fate’s capricious nature.
