Everlasting

I always think of us as young
you still blooming and me too fresh
Like the time when your little body was huge
with our boy
we really rocked the cradle back then

or that time
in some cheap hotel in a scuzzy British resort

was it Skegness

When we
both a little drunk
shook a bedstead loose from its frame

Our bodies made a wild kind of poetry back then
not gentle
We fell into whirlpools of frenzy
unholy delights flickering red in our eyes

Do you recall old girl

Such passions rekindle themselves
through time and distance
they dance on everlasting

though with much calmer flames
and a more steady propriety
