Unkind words remain unsaid.
Varieties of betrayal cease to trouble those who are true for eternity.
There are no arguments
about
dirty dishes
or laundry.
Unabated
by
infirmity
halcyon days of sex, cake, tea, breadmaking, dancing and poetry continue.
We circle one another
in daily clean sheets
softly
lightly.
Outside
mist steals the first rays of sunlight
and
forests dream.
Time
comes
as
always.
I tell you how noble,
how marvellously beautiful
you are.
Until
I remember
you were never there.
