The Thanks Bestowed
Upon The Day I’ve Lead
Unfurls Itself
Upon My Head

The Rays Of Sun
Behind My Clouds
Stirs Me Up
Makes Me Proud
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:15pm
Once, long ago, I was given
a little wooden box
from a man with whom I thought I was in love
the little black & green box was given
with directions:
Keep Your Dreams In This
Years later I gave the box
as a going away present
to a young woman
who was off to France
& once, years after that
I asked her about the little black & green box
& she said:
I think Leham keeps his marbles in it
