LISTEN NOW 1973

A MAN AND WOMAN IN PARIS 1973

Listen now
Sonya says
she turns up

the hotel
radio
she's half dressed

or undressed
depending
if we're to

go out or
to stay in
Delius

I love him
his music
so English

she mutters
(she's Danish)
I listen

sitting down
beside her
she pretends

conducting
her finger
in the air

waving round
her eyes close
she's away

a female
conductor
all I want

is to hold
her closely
and kiss her.
