Now


There is no yesterday
There is no tomorrow
There is only now;
This moment

I am me
And you are you
And this
Is all we have.

You

Sitting straight In an outsize suit, A puce tie, Lines that time Cannot hide Palms creas’d Inside an office tray Your desk reveals A disarray. How far… my life… My life from yours …has strayed …has strayed. Resplendent days Discard’d like leaves Golden, Dropping, Dropping from The skeleton tree Her fingers point To renewed green To search the sun Her flesh long since Burned upon Whilst moon Moves o’er moor Whilst death Seeps into sea Whilst tide Spreads ash Like hiving bees You were life to me. You: Leaning into the sink Singing Your head lifting; Honeyed singing. © Martin Slidel 2018 Photograph © Martin Slidel 2018
