For C.A. Duffy
The 20th Poet Laureate
On her affair with Adrian Henri
Fucked by poetry,
Aged 17,
The hero met,
The life begun.
Now a woman,
She chose to love
A god,
Twice her years.
And I remember
His poems,
As anthems
Of my youth.
"Love is
A wellington
Full of blood."
A shocker
In the sixties,
With a talent
For the macabre
And mischievous.
And as he taught
You poetry,
We too
Soaked up
His everyword.
Learning
Irreverence,
For everything.
While you
Bathed,
In a lovebed
Of adoration,
We adulated
His everypoem,
His everyword,
His everymove.
But you were
His queen.
His epicentre,
His perfect woman,
With a perfect
Tongue.
I will always,
Read your poems,
All your poems,
Written with a perfect
Tongue,
With love.
