Le Carrousel

At Christmas,
the last time us –
together

Lunch with pints of stout
Crisp and clear evening Twilight as the big wheel turned

Close –
Overlooking Cork’s night sky
You played with my jewellery again like years ago at The Wilton

We kissed our last kiss outside my house

Goodbye my love
Thank you for the nine years
I hadn’t known love until I knew you.
