To Good Form




To good form

So I guess it's you and me my friend
your white face openly turned to the dawn again
the first trucks shuddering down the road
greeting us like fellow travellers
doffing their caps like colleagues from the cab
it is you and me my love
my blessed writing
you are all that gives me life and takes my strength
of all the loneliest distant dreams on earth
you give something back
it is you and me old girl against the cosmos
it is you and I alone to find the form
to clear the gravid space
the haunting need and to ignore the pangs of time
it is you and me my quiet partner
my sharp and silent sage
it is down to us to settle and to give the earth
a good account of it

to heal and mend these many scars upon the page
