WHAT IS BEYOND?
For John Dickson

what is beyond the ocean
all so vast and blue
what is beyond the mountains
of work that I must do
what is beyond nine planets
is there a planet ten?
what is beyond
and then
what is beyond
this thing called love

beyond the mornings joy
and the evenings sorrow
there will be no
housewives tomorrow
they bring us the Chinese dishes
and in the champagne fizz
to remind us that what is beyond
can only be what is
what is beyond
the thing called
what is beyond
the thing called
what is beyond
this thing called
love
