Raving
By Dorothy Porter
Published 1 August 2023
In this new morning
it is love
that makes me chatter
moving, light as a monkey
I’m giving, giving
off a hectic joy
that could only be love
in all its raving generosity.
Thank you, my darling,
for exploding in my heart
so when you leave me
mute and sober
once and for all
I will remember the talk
and coffee and giddy
peace of this morning.
