I Wear Yellow
Maybe the drama
Of black umbrellas,
A moody sky,
And rain
falling
On a graveyard,
all grey,
all cold
Would have somehow appealed
To you.
But today
the sun shines bright
And you lie
In a meadow
Of flowers
Sweet
And wild
As our hair as it blew
In the wind,
When we finally reached
The crest of Cleeve Hill.
And I wear yellow,
Bright and bold,
A coat you left
Barely worn,
With no lingering scent
Of your Simple shampoo,
Or hint of the warmth of your skin.
