Edwin Morgan Love Poems
- 1. Seven Decades
At ten I read Mayakovsky had died,
learned my first word of Russian, lyublyu;
watched my English teacher poke his earwax
with a well-chewed HB and get the class
... - 2. Strawberries
There were never strawberries
like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step
... - 3. One Cigarette
No smoke without you, my fire.
After you left,
your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray
and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey
...
