Les



You could contrive a meandering sonnet,
Broach the third level of meaning with ease -
Once main lines are coursing and images breeze.
You were in it, around, beyond, upon it.
Sceptical of cities, their noble prizes,
Bush slows out detail close, and daily talk.
Going home again was the ideal walk
Across the veranda of word surprises.
Mosaic is catholic and sensate,
Words pieced to make it it-and-a-bit.
Either it happens for them or it’s nothing.
Old English remains the source of something.
Middle English too called the spirit wit.
You asked: now how many ways do we say mate?
