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…—Edwin Morgan, “Strawberries”🍓

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…—Edwin Morgan, “When You Go”

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…—Edwin Morgan, “One Cigarette” 🚬

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…—Edwin Morgan, “When You Go” 🫂

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, “The Apple’s Song” 🍎
