Best drier

The best drier

of tears

is the wind.

Still calls

I put your underpants

back in the drawer,

your t-shirt into the cupboard.

A time will come

to lose

those rituals

but for now

the Wood owl

still calls.

In each other

At our usual

picnic spot

on the R63

I stop

to note my gladness

at these places

across

the country

we shared.

We were

without wanting

to be

a restless pair

forced to travel

these roads

– never really

at home

except

in

each

other.
