dream_but_a_door
Glyn Maxwell Dream but a door slams then.
Your waking is in the past. The friend
who left was the last to leave and that
left you, calm as a man.

Wash in a slip of soap belonging
only a week ago to a girl but
yours now and washed to a nothing.
As you and she, friends and not.

Eat to the end as toast,
the loaf she decided on, only last
Saturday last. The crust is what
you said you'd have. So have.

Stop by the calendar, though,
and peel. The colour today
is yellow, and you will never remember
what that means -'J'.

Drink to the deep the coffee, down
to the well of the dark blue cup.
The oaf with the nose of steam is alive
and well again. Look up.
