Give by Simon Armitage
And then one day, if I love again:
Give
Simon ArmitageOf all the public places, dear
to make a scene, I’ve chosen here.Of all the doorways in the world
to choose to sleep, I’ve chosen yours.
I’m on the street, under the stars.For coppers I can dance or sing.
For silver-swallow swords, eat fire.
For gold-escape from locks and chains.It’s not as if I’m holding out
for frankincense or myrrh, just change.You give me tea. That’s big of you.
I’m on my knees. I beg of you.
