(Bucharest)
you promise me
a crocodile
(two turtles
on the side)
in spite of better judgement
I believe you
sort of
a hot day
shadows threading
oak and beech
a lazy river
all rocks and reeds
stitched in sunshine
an unlikely venue
but still I believe you
after all
men make promises
all the time
from I love you
downwards
you say
round the next bend
I promise
I imagine
dragon-scales
light-bulb eyes
a snarling smile
who am I to quibble?
they say all things
(even crocodiles)
are possible
and you haven’t let me down
yet
