At dverse tonight it’s Quadrille time set by Kim to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles iconic Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Consequently the poem is to include the word ‘pepper’.
He peppers his conversations
with her name, all the time
saying she is now of no consequence.
His favourite story is when they
flew to Oslo. Last minute
to see the northern lights.
He is anchored in a deep water harbour,
still not casting off.
No longer captain of his ship.
