  1. There were never strawberries
    like the ones we had
    that sultry afternoon
    sitting on the step
    of the open french window
    facing each other
    your knees held in mine…

  2. When you go,
    if you go,
    and I should want to die,
    there’s nothing I’d be saved by
    more than the time
    you fell asleep in my arms…

  3. No smoke without you, my fire.
    After you left,
    your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray
    and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey
    I smiled to wonder who would believe its signal
    of so much love…

  4. When you go,
    if you go,
    and I should want to die,
    there’s nothing I’d be saved by
    more than the time
    you fell asleep in my arms
    in a trust so gentle
    I let the darkening room
    drink up the evening…

  5. Tap me with your finger,
    rub me with your sleeve,
    hold me, sniff me,
    peel me curling round
    and round till I burst out white and cold
    from my tight red coat…

    Edwin Morgan

    Kiss me with rain on your eyelashes,
    come on, let us sway together,
    under the trees, and to hell with thunder.
