(some loves are always in the distance)
She sends sloe gin
bottled berries from Stonebarrow
they arrive in the mail.
she dresses, she blesses
christmas trees with her handmade presents,
they arrive in the mail.
*
let’s sit outside on the doorstep tonight
i’ll pour sloe gin
and we can watch the satellites
(take flight)
*
i’ve taken to wearing
my wedding ring on a finger of my right hand.
i guess we’ve all got a tale to tell.
but she ain’t asking twenty questions.
if there’s answers needed
both of us will listen
when they arrive in the mail.
*
christmas lights – cool constellations
draw a moon in the condensation
let’s fly away.
Should you fancy… cassettes album ‘Somme Girls‘ can be found… on bandcamp 😉
Love this!
