STATUE IN THE RAIN
I stand
like a statue in the rain.
The house
looks dumbly at me.
Its two windows
& its door
like a giant
human face
staring stupidly
at me.
I gaze
blankly back.
Suddenly the light
has gone from its eyes
you emerge
all dressed in red
as if the door
had stuck its tongue out.
A stranger
(to me)
but obviously
(not to you)
appears & kisses you.
You kiss him
passionately back.
You told me
you were seeing your Mum.
He looks
nothing like your Mum.
I stand
like a statue in the rain.
