I’ve got a poem half written
like I’ve got a new lover
and I don’t want to say who he is
yet.
Wherever it is, the poem is the centre
of the room. All the time
I am making the bed, going for a jog,
taking a shower,
the poem rings.
Can it wait? What’ll I say?
A thin flame runs up my legs.
On the bus I think of other poems.
Now I have six half-written.
I am a slut
with petrol in my hair.

I absolutely love this. The poem wakes us up in the middle of the night. My knitting does that, too. I am also a loose woman with my poems and my knitting – keeping many at once. What minxes we are! Wonderful poem!

Oh my goodness, you totally captured it! Exactly what happens. The sensuality full on. You had me, to paraphrase that famous movie line, at lover.
