Her’s was a parvenus route without
valid qualifications – apart from her
betrothal to a provincial manager &
his executive home – such stiffened
allures are a kind of love – a security
[rarely bodies]/ Her yearning to f#ck
a young builder was never a shock –
see her hubby [such a bore tuned to
Radio Two] He always answered to
loud calls of full pints & pulling men
beneath pub beams – sharing gags –
[old misogynists & racists always do]
Her love re-ignited [for her husband]
after she found she could not afford
to live without his pudgy currencies
Half of everything was never enough
Half a life of sadness – her new price
He paid for her new hard tits – they’re
rearing her lover’s grin [life’s still shit]

I am your blown out wish –
rich
with birthday spit
I inflate wanted lists and
your every year –
every anniversary – craving
for gifts
I hope you like it
A fool’s longing is my trick
turning dry thoughts into thirst
before hunger grips
Later your rubbed lust
will open other’s yearning lips –
both set to work
by my dictates
How can I thank you?
I will let you sleep sated –
but cheated
I’ll come back with your waking
Sex Over Fifty-four
For J
I had not been woken so
by a kiss
in living memory
I am set alive
And other old weights
have been lifted
by her lightness of
kind eyes and soft lips
upon my ageing nakedness
unknown so
since teenage kicks were first felt
hurting
through unresolved desires
but we are now old enough
to not blush and to do it well
Sex was invented
in the sixties for us
