On Michael street we convalesce The neighbours speaking Polish do most of the talking In the wild garden wrapped in blankets we watch the solar lights open their eyes at night I'm afraid of this cowardly condition, though I'm here of my own volition Spent by the sun and my skin is stinging Excuse the pun but you are beaming And I love you with no expectation Sometimes I'm rattled by your name Immovable rest upon your chest I hear the grass grow Today devoid of confusions Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage Confidently ploughing into my youth On Michael street we boiled two eggs You gave me a look of want I dug deep and passed the plate around Of your body I am conscious of your being I am in awe Walking barefoot across the kitchen you spoke of the wonders of trust Fresh flowers and Brazilian music There was a rhythm in the room of the home We've come a long way since Christ Church in the cold And I love you with no expectation Sometimes I'm rattled by your name Immovable rest upon your chest I hear the grass grow Today devoid of confusions Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage Confidently ploughing into my youth On Michael street we convalesce
