lightning

 I remember watching the lightning strike over the blocks

Of flats in Veszprém

While smoking my pipe standing in my shorts

On your balcony

I was happy then with you


Why does love never seem to work out

Always going in different directions 

Like water streams

choosing their own courses

You can't ever predict what two people will do


And love strikes you

Like a bolt from the blue

When you are sitting in a Scottish lodge

reading your poetry to a group of strangers

And one person in the group

Is listening to you
