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 laughter
Spilling from my splitting
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
You
Cradled Me!
