You to me
Admiral of the Humber hotel room, Hull, 04/11/18
You to me are like cheese
and pickle sandwiches
Like strawberry yogurt
Like battenburg cake
Like builder’s tea or
strong coffee made in my Tony Benn mug
You to me are like pints
in a pub
Like a single decker bus
Like music that’s acoustic
Like sitting by a fire pit
and watching the flames spit
You to me are like a
bright summer’s day
Like a walk along a
causeway
Like a giggle in a park
Like breaking into dance
in the middle of town for no reason whatsoever
You to me are like double
rainbows
Like cycling past
hedgerows
Like church bells ringing
Like suddenly singing
random lyrics sparked by an innocent word
You to me are like a flock
of geese calling
Like waves rising and
falling
Like clouds wandering
Like a canal boat in its
mooring having meandered most of the day
You to me are like all the
things I’ve discovered and never got bored of
The things recovered and
been restored by God
The things I love and make
me feel known
You to me are home
