Kate Bentley. Stories from The Seaside.
i dreamed of you last night
you had a different face
or maybe just a haircut
you were older and wiser
yet more like a child
i was amazed to still find you
there at the back of my mind
this dream was short
but this dream was happy
this dream was short
but this dream was happy
David Hockney (from the Cavafy Etchings)
I’VE LOOKED SO MUCH
I’ve looked so much upon beauty
that my vision is replete with it.
The body’s contours. Red lips. Sensual limbs.
Hair as though taken from Greek statues;
always lovely, even when disheveled,
and falling, slightly, over white brows.
Faces of love, just as my poetry wanted them …
in the nights of my youth, in those nights of mine,
secretly encountered…C.P.Cavafy
