Pad, pad

(Agnes) Elisabeth Lutyens

I always remember your beautiful flowers

And the beautiful kimono you wore

When you sat on the couch

With that tigerish crouch

And told me you loved me no more

What I cannot remember is how I felt

When you were unkind

All I know is, if you were unkind now

I should not mind.

Ah me, the power to feel exaggerated,

Angry and sad

The years have taken from me,

Softly I go now, pad pad.
