Settled in water, we shape, and beneath
candlelit sheet of perfume, we steam
hips, ribs, spine and shins with no space between.
I write you as reflections in chrome.
*
Of the Ouse, the Tyne, the Wear, we weave
slow-flowing poems of their cool streams –
We threshold their bridges, seek margins unseen:
I write them as reflections in chrome.
*
The same air as saints and blue bloods we breathe
in cathedrals and cafés, on bridges, in dream.
The same shape, we bathe, you and me; we lean.
I write us as reflections in chrome.
what a great write Nick. Your writing style is unique and appreciated thoroughly! 💖 love this.

I don’t know which I love more: the water, the reflections, or those sacred spaces…
