The Healer
The healer
Do you remember the night when?
The floodlight came on as we sat by the riverside?
You said you loved me and I quickly said ditto,
A joke you didn’t appreciate.
Mosquitoes flew like silent angles through air
In the mimosa night and the home, the team lost
Three to one.
The dance music on the radio got a silent tone
While the trout waked in the knowledge I had
Not brought fishing tackle. And trees fell to the ground
The castors were hard at work.
Never mind, it was long ago the fish and you have gone
And the river is polluted.
But it will be better since the saga queen Greta came
And healed the world.
