MOTTLED MEMORIES


I see the morning's cold and mottled cloud;

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.
