On Setting up a New Home

Now that I’ve found time;
now the unpacking is done,
shelves stacked, books sorted;
now the photos flicked through
have done their worst; those taken
months before the bubble burst;

now it’s time to say that she,
the one I cried for last night,
is not the one I love. You are

my books of myth and dream
and coming-of-age and origins
lined single-file like marriage vows
written down in order. You are
the one I love now. You are.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    The rhyme there works brilliantly. Good shit Mark.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
