In York Minster’s shade

Renewing our promise
(under the meanest table).
We are at it again.

During the interval
I step in and hold my breath.

I can only I dream I am swimming.
Inland.  Further.

Limpet.  Lapping.  Lovely.

Beholding you I die.
Mandible.

I am filled in with social motion, a twist
towards yours in direction.

All anomalies have a practical value.
Our promise flashes off the crest
I have long wanted to write.
