Flat Sharing


Apple crumbled evenings in October,
your guitar and two chords
drifting through the piles of paper at your feet. 


I am closing my eyes to the sound and
the green curtain and the old fashioned way
you boil a kettle and make sure that
I am more than ‘ok’. 


We talk without pause, although
Louis Theroux , the news at seven, nine, eleven,
Nigella’s pornographic recipes, Ikea catalogues
and The Yellow Pages, are all consuming subject matters. 


You bring me my name on a Sainsbury’s leaflet;
I am to be had with duck legs, indeed!
