I'm eating the usual Daim Bar cake,
taking note as this incredible day
continues to unfold
like a bolt of silk.
Kissed on the back of my neck
by the sun in all of its splendour
through plate glass, I stretch
like a black cat under
the heat. Rub my hand on it,
slow, savour my skin.
I look at the sky
through huge, blue windows.
Languid ecstasy.
This is how it is to hold you.
The warmth of your skin,
the brush of your hands
and your strong embrace
making my pulse tattoo.
Christ. The cafe at IKEA.
In this moment’s centre,
my heart is free
and the sky is clear.

Peanut butter
Peanut butter. Black belt? No! Black Cat! Great advertisement. Nice picture, chocolate icing or black cat? By the way what is IKEA?
Keep well! Tom Brown

I must say that I will look
I must say that I will look at Ikea cafes in a totally different light from now on. What a wonderful love poem.
