EDC Writing – Believing Sight Unseen
'odd lines, short poems, bits of prose'
Dawn light filters through
Shutters angle a rainbow
I wake warm space beside
Your scent upon my body
My eyes look into yours
You cat-stretch on all fours
The curving of your spine
Send tingles into mine
Your knees astride my hips
You dip to touch my lips
Tongue tips taste prelude
My rise and fall in you
Laid in hand held silence
A new day … you and I
The night before unknown
Two strangers we no more
Lovers – vague memories … holding hands – yesterday
[Six Words – my line your mind #48]
She remembers … he did … will always
[Six Words – my line your mind #47]
Short trousers can’t remember if ever new
Pockets a handkerchief no money never any need
School dinners free milk walking two miles there and back
Saturdays a sixpence mint imperials aniseed balls in their little box
Sundays Dad at home football train set toy soldiers mother raising eyebrows
Early sixties Boxing Day snow began long month later would it ever go away
Long trousers become necessity Wellington boots drift walking into school
That summer turned eleven grammar school didn’t make it yet in other ways…
