By the cathedral


from the ABC set Poetry - Recovery Position

By the cathedral
on the hill
I had one drink
you, two, three…
alone in the faded plush
we waited for the day
to ease, the flailing sleet
to shift
only the barman saw
the kissed night leave
only the barman watched
love freeze
by the cathedral
on the hill
I had one drink
you, two, three....

I really like this. My favourite lines:-

"only the barman saw
the kissed night leave
only the barman watched
love freeze ..."

I really like this - it says so much with so few words. Brilliant.
