Not thinking of you
Martin Alexander - UK / HK

I didn't think of you at all today:
As I awoke you were not catlike curled
Behind my sleeping eyes. When the yellow
Dawn yawned, dispelled the night's last shades of grey
I didn't think your honeyed hair unfurled
A flag of shouldered gold. And when, below
A woman's ear I saw, like yours, a mole,
I didn't think to think of you. Tonight
No star reminds me of your eyes' bright soul
Where I might find my own quite drowned in light.
My every thought's been free of you! No strings
To pull me back to you from busy things.
I haven't thought of you at all, I vow!
No more than I am thinking of you now.
