Wednesday

If it were up to me you’d be

made of bodywarmers 


in artisan socks from 

Iceland, Eigg or Hoth


even in June, in June

I want to keep you 


bundled, call you toast

and soft and close as 


microwaved milk

in a crumpet oubliette.


Ready Brek jet setter,

your crown a fiery hob


Top of the Pops and bonfire 

fudge, nestled in fleece,


honey, middle encased

in a crucible of cashmere,


forever sleep snug in a 3.5 tog

my tiny love, fisherman’s friend.
