Cotswold Tiles
LISTEN NOW
Stepping onto the underground kitchen floor tiles
Cold bared feet on stone
The natural suddenness of you
Stripping away the haze
Dishing out this day
It is as pleasant as any
Announcing your name out loud
Two soft syllables hugging each other or
Bouncing off the cold tile like a happy tennis ball
You arrive in small installments these days
Sharp clarifying tones
Almost cheery
I just about hear you
