DAVID BISHOP
Looking at Your Profile in the Car


while we're driving back
from making love in our sacred place
and counting the lines behind your glasses

How I love the free verse
you wear etched in make-up
I smile
and you glance at me
reluctant to leave the hardroad
for a fatal instant

But I can see we've written another couplet
and I know this road will not hold you
between its narrow lines
much longer
