- 142/ in the night
She stands up,
“Do you like this dress?”
I push past, buy another drink.
She comes over,
I go to kiss her.
“So what was that?” she says,
“Are you sober?”She pulls me to my feet.
We’re through the door,
into the evening light.I half turn.
She walks away,
lost in the night.
- I Can Now See
The world doesn’t look the same as it used to.
And what was it I was thinking?
I can’t think:
everything coming and going,
my memory leaving.
May the next life
when I am young again,
be as wonderful as this one.
And as the women pass,
they turn.I can now see
how everything came to be
in the garden at home
above a blue silvery sky
the whole of life inside me.
Up through the light
I reach the end.You love me and I love you
love is everything
and everyone.
In the silence of space
you will know
love goes on
after we are gone.
