An Introduction
‘What is your favourite key?’ - I whispered as morning song
crackled through window eyes and rested on
couples and strangers and
me and you,
or you and I
or we,
you know -
someday.
You regarded me with curiosity:
'A’ minor, I think, for it is
simple in its melancholy.’
I silently agreed, and tried to capture your face unguarded
but you stared at me with laughing eyes and
replied,
'Flying or breathing underwater?’
Startled, my answer fell -
'Breathe underwater,
I think (I knew),
for there
are secrets there
more beautiful
than we could believe’.
