Rendezvous

I said I wanted to do it again

words resembling that’s scratchy record in my ear

for the first time

I wasn’t accustom to the discipline

And echoing back at me was your barren womb

Saying mother knows best

I danced my life on a barbed wire fence

And navigated its blades and spikes

With carelessness

I never realised that to discipline was to truly love

As you lay your head upon my breast

And just cherished the simplicity of the moment

To go further as I had done before

But something innocent was about to be crushed

Autumn leaves beat about the car windows

We were cocooned inside our own little shell

The music on radio 2 played to the

Dictate of own starry universe

Then it happened the realisation I had gone far enough.
