I’d always drop by
if I was in your country
sometimes stopping over
kipping on the sofa
clogging up the bathroom
sometimes it’d be years
between visits
but still feeling like yesterday
come by you said on the phone
this time I have a surprise
& there he was: Charlie
Bowie fan now your husband
the joy of him in your face
we talked we drank
listened to his Bowie outtakes
as he struggled to work out
just who the fuck I was
taking your attention away
& too soon I was gone again
hearing over the wire
you divorced him in a year two
turned into just another prick
your father chasing him
down your streets hammer in hand
give him the abuse he gave out
more low hill entertainment
I’d never say I loved you the most
more that I loved you a longer time
