You're
Dreamlike,
unforgettable up close,
Haunting
from afar, and well-travelled,
A
schooled professional. Calmly intense
A
smart-bomb in the useful sense.
Caught
out by yourself like a snare
By
the threads of the heart as we all are.
Loyal
as a lighthouse from the first
Exchanges
to the last thing you said.
O
busy woodpecker, my knitterbug.
Present
as mystery and distant like stars.
Deeper
than the Marianas.
Long-haired
Mnemosyne, our wicked moon.
Red
as berries and buried
Like
a bulb in a woollen blanket.
An
ampersand, all squiggle
Bouncy
as a mirror-ball's beams.
Glowing,
like a brave horizon.
A
cheeky seaside postcard, with your scribble on.
