Pines have people spaces

               Our last afternoon
               blended into each other
               in our new August
               overcoats
               below Mount Crawford Prison
               I'm asking you —
               Why do you like the trees behind us?/ArtBook/Pines-Mt-Matthew-tugs-sketch.jpg
              That night we met at... Say Thank You to The Lady
             

I sat in my thick thirties armchair off the skip
lit up a Gitane and said
Fergus. You're in love with a man
I'm gald I decided to be
tremendously posiotove about
whoever is me.
             I didn't know —
             How dumb labelling people is
             You're finding out it's great
             being with a woman
             God loves gay people
             or about the big gap
             till Clove turned up
That late winter afternoon
you have to go
There should have been tugboats in front of Mount
Matthew
            our hearts at play.
