I’d obviously been reading
A lot of Stevie Smith
So much so, it seems,
That I ripped her off a bit
Strong Currents
I’m all
at sea
But no one
sees me
Gesticulating
wildly
Against
the tide

I found her poems
In a cupboard at school
Back when I was young
I realised then
That I’d found a friend
And so to that book I’ve clung

Dear Stevie
If we
could
meet
We’d
drink
a brew
And
maybe
share
A
laugh
or two
Yet we
would
know
At the
end of
the day
What
connects
us both
Is
life’s
decay
