    The Life Lived

    The Life Lived
    brought us both here,
    yours and mine,
    you and me.
    Genetic lines -
    I am your impurity
    your blood mixed;
    our commonality
    seeming clear
    makes each a hybridisation,
    nothing pure in the world.
    Your dear dead wife,
    was she the sorceress
    or the apprentice,
    the saucer or the cup?
    But I am not your cup of tea,
    never was.
    Your dear dead self
    within my thumbs,
    some aspect of my nose;
    where is your residence now,
    if not in the way I swing a hammer
    and a certain mystical absorption
    with the sound of a clarianet.
