Working Love



I fell for you in work
amid the photocopier’s paparazzi-flashing,
had no control over seating
so, between floors
giddy elevator conversations
snatched.
Once,
outside, 
during a fire evacuation test
I stood by you,
aware my ruddy-face was so obviously 
smouldering. 
Hold the note you gave me
for supposed help 
on an urgently demanded spinning-hamster-wheel 
type task,
just a rather economical: β€˜Thank you v v much’
but I imagined that first word unexpectedly promoted
and H.R. formally introducing 
its shyest new replacement: 
Love.

Since that day 
to my certain knowledge
you’ve never used β€˜v v’ again…
though I make sure those twanging Cupid arrowheads 
are near daily 
kept still in play.

A thought-provoking piece, Glenn. I'm not a trusting person generally - too many illusionists, too much ugly truth.

This poem has really caught me, Dave. I love the natural images in the first stanza and the bitter sadness of the second. One to remember.

A poem entitled Closed Door 

I know the night it opened
and how life looked up
like a Woodpigeon clattering
off its nest
or a thundercloud's electrons
coming home
but not one instant
so more like a tide
racing across the sand
with small waders
in constant surprise & rush
reeling, wheeling around to find
peace in the marram grass,
comfort in huddle & safety.
Yes, that was the nightβ€”
not much sleep, but deep.

But which was the night
it shut?
I'll never know
and you won't say
but for sure it was
years before the day
you crossed a line
and I walked out
through a closed door,
at least a door
I thought was closed
            then 
I pushed it shut from outside
and it was.

This is a wonderful piece, Peter. The third part is particularly striking, but it all works so well. πŸ’™
