Kerri Shying R #476 - the winter here is sunshine gloved up inside that velvet ( for Gail Hennessy)


for Gail Hennessy

I expected those clouds today  as full as purple damsons
  hung ripe and low across the flatness of the rooftops
Islington   Hamilton   Mayfield   to split      into warm
  gold  juiced-up sunset   rather than the rain    that
came and went   a ceremony for alighting from the car

the winter here is sunshine  gloved up inside that velvet

that face   peeping out enough  to stop us straying off to
   snow to   other lovers   ski field  holidays    tropical   islands
the the stuff of dour people      here    we make damp fires
    the most we have  to find  in May   our gum boots 
this rush of plums    the red of Poinciana  kisses    wait
