St Lucy's Day ...

The poet followed me across the sand - 

I glimpsed his dark pirate's face, the lace at his throat - 

I heard his diamond mark the glass - 

John Donne Anne Donne, Undone - 

I saw him put on a long white gown - 

No busy sun shone upon his tangled bed - 

I remembered his subtle passionate words - 

The eyes of those I read them to - 

I counted the hours left until the dark - 

I felt the heat of my secret heart -
