Oh, my triolet comment was meant as a smile - perhaps I should've added
LOL... (I've just read it and guess it might look very blunt!)
Anyways, what's following is for C & C....
The Instant
This may not always be so – and so I say
that if your fingers should prize chocolates
from other boxes in evenings watching tv films
and it’s some other body that breathes its slowness
in a different favourite t shirt, and your sweet hair
falls in such a silence as he moves slightly,
stretching his slippered foot till it touches
your instep, your ankle, your calf,
and if this should be so, and I imagine it all again,
will only I be the one who listens intently
as streetlights strengthen the dark
and hear a bird singing fiercely
as it would in a foreign land?
Bob
