I know now it cannot end
Eternity would have to bend
Before our love’s large strength
Which will suffer no reverse
Infinity’s enduring length
Is not as far as love can send
Its message to the universe.
It’s like a hill I’m climbing
A heap – but not of slag
Church bells are nearby chiming...
I lift iced whisky mixed with lemonade
To lips I love, watch cigarette smoke
Caress the evening light...
