from memory it blotches and it ploughs,
from cold and mottled legs when I was young,
from chasing love on school cross-country runs.
and how I did chase after her in vain;
and how my vapoured breath did briefly pierce that stinging rain,
and how before I even knew of words like 'unrequited',
I found the flame of early love was cold and unignited.
