The Warmth of the Body

liked to feel your body your warm skin.

I liked your honey smell and your sweet breath

Why is such love considered now a sin?

Still Unforgiven when you met your death.

I think you preferred our little cats to me.

Still I liked to lie in bed with you

I like to sit at Aldeburgh by the sea.

Was our love too close like UHU

Remember how we got to dunwich beach

We found a piece of marble near the sea

A whole town drowned within the North Sea’s reach

And still I feel the lost cathedrals plea.

Remember when the fishing fleet went out

Just before the dawn there’s life about
