Poem About Being In Love With an Artist: "Mr Guggenheim has much to answer for..." 1992

Mr Guggenheim has much to answer for


Kandinsky's wheel
is turning in the sky
like a moon with spokes.

a small blonde child climbs
from your pocket
and nestles under your chin
safe
warmed

you feel the breathing
you sense her lightness
and her depth

her sleep is the shape
of your eyes

her dream is the music
of your voice

my heart is the coloured stream
of her curving love
and my heart is within you

I want it back.
