Admiral of the Humber hotel room, Hull, 04/11/18
You to me are like cheese and pickle sandwiches
Like strawberry yogurt
Like battenburg cake
Like builder’s tea or strong coffee made in my Tony Benn mug
You to me are like pints in a pub
Like a single decker bus
Like music that’s acoustic
Like sitting by a fire pit and watching the flames spit
You to me are like a bright summer’s day
Like a walk along a causeway
Like a giggle in a park
Like breaking into dance in the middle of town for no reason whatsoever
You to me are like double rainbows
Like cycling past hedgerows
Like church bells ringing
Like suddenly singing random lyrics sparked by an innocent word
You to me are like a flock of geese calling
Like waves rising and falling
Like clouds wandering
Like a canal boat in its mooring having meandered most of the day
You to me are like all the things I’ve discovered and never got bored of
The things recovered and been restored by God
The things I love and make me feel known
You to me are home
