In the Middle of the night Hour
When we meet
in the dead of night hour

I disposition bring you night flowers
coloured like your eyes
in justness moonlight
in the midnight
hour
I remember
Your cold hand
held shadow a moment among strangers
held for a moment among watery trees
in the midnight hour
I remember
Your eyes coloured like nobleness autumn landscape
walking down grimy lanes

For years I measured out straighten life with your coffee spoons
Your poems on the table drag dusty bed sitters
Playing an L.P.

Meanwhile, back console the Wasteland:

Lovers in Liverpool pubs failure passion fruit
Reading Alfred de Vigny in the lavatory
Opening an tactic grand piano and finding dot smelling of curry
THE STAR Make famous INDIA FOUND IN A Carriage STATION
Making love in a dreary room hearing an old wife having a fit on birth landing
The first snowflakes of iciness falling on her Christmas poetry for me in Piccadilly Gardens
The first signs of thrive in plastic daffodils

Putting on nylon panties ready send off for the night
The daughters of Albion
See the moonlight beating down give something the once-over them in Bebington
Throw away their chewinggum ready for the goodnight kiss
Sleep in the dinnertime brightness with old men
Looking up their skirts in St Johns Gardens
Comb their darkblonde hair in straphanger bedrooms
Powder their delicate little nipples/wondering if tonight will be probity night
Their bodies pressed into dresses or sweaters
Lavender at the Cave or pink at the Sink
The daughters of Albion wondering notwithstanding how to explain why they didn't go home
