You danced for me
early that morning
when you walked me home
from the party.
Dawn was breaking,
early morning sun
shone over the river.
Your steps were so light,
we were both so free.
Now you dance no more.
But I at least still have that
early morning memory.

for Mark and Cat whose wedding would have been tomorrow
but will instead be another day
We’re sorry that lockdown has got in the way
of the planned celebration for your special day.
No feasting or speeches or exchanging of rings,
but thoughts and good wishes and virtual things.
Raising our glasses to you as is the fashion,
just a sip or two since our booze is on ration,
to toast to the future when, come what may,
you’ll have a good one, despite the delay!
