Climbing up the crazy staircase
Of pitching, swaying, Seventy Two,
A struggle on that rolling footpath
To reach the u bench, lost to view,
In shadow of glow worm roof lights,
Through stiles of seats in night time blue.

Evenings that were warm and long,
Your hands soft and cool in mine,
Perched on wood, our knees a table top,
We watched askance as double line
Twisted down to Beresford Square,
To sound of electric motor whine.

Window shop in Powis Street,
Buy sofa and a double (!) bed,
Walk slow, hips touch, a tight embrace,
Your perfume reels my head.
Comes smokey taste and smell of soot,
Tall funnels with band of red.

We walk the plank with stagger step,
Descend to heat and piston sights,
Marvel at the monster motion,
Climb again to Saturday Nights,
Relax on heated furnace cover,
And smile at red green water lights.

Courting days!
