> Flemish bond, English bond, slap the trowel, plumb the line.
> Six o'clock, on the dot, up and out, work's about.
> It's seven quid a week and a ten bob note.

> "Robin is a vital and disturbing love poet and a bitter analyst of the human
> condition, at once accessible and demanding but with a leavening of subtle
> wit."
>
> Woman as Duvet
>
> At night when the shadows come, I taste
> Your skin as acid on my teeth. The salt tang
> Of your nipples captures for one moment my attention:
> All that tight skein of your body I'd twine
> Around me, my loving cloak, guessed flesh I'd wear.
