tea with a friend

come visit soon

we will drink green tea

from translucent china

no need to talk much

 

we’ll show photos

of our children’s children

you’ll take mine across

to your wedding day

demob suit husband

for his approval

 

I’ll smile at yours

 

‘two cubes or one?’

‘one, I’m sweet enough’

‘yes, you are’

 

‘let’s sit in the garden

get the last of the sun’

 

‘why weren’t we lovers?’

‘we set that aside for days like this’

Hello Rick
I just read you last four poems
