FOR NELLA

“Others have laboured and ye are entered into their labours.”

ST JOHN 4-38

The Leather of Love

Weathered as gate posts

by departures

and the white ghosts

of the gone,

wrapped in tarpaulins,

we talk of passion.

Our passion’s the saline

in which hides are hung

to make from a hinge of skin

the leather of love.
