ON DAYS LIKE THESE PAINTING DAYS
 
All the world is white,
because white is the colour of the paint
Of walls and doors and banisters.
 
And my mind is white,
And memories of you are white,
Who used to paint me red
And lick me with fiery wine.  
 
Now I get into bed, scrubbed
And more hollow, into the night,
Which is white with stars.
