The jacket kept your head dry
And hid the tears from view
While traces of light
Across the night sky
Lept into action
And passers-by formed rapid judgements
About books and covers
The jacket hid your elegant
clothing behind its dusty, torn blackness
You preferred it to baring
your personality full force
and liked that it combined
Us two in one covering
Your dress my jacket
The jacket held your scent
long after you'd gone
The jacket stopped the window frame
From scratching the book's body
As it maintained the opening
As I knelt smoking
And catching the summer breeze
Rolling off the Tay
