a twenty sixth poem...'conversation piece'

David was there. 
He was in my dream. 
Alive.
On the top stair.
A portrait in flesh. 
Screwed down hair. 
Wonky teeth. 
One green eye, octarine
Blue beneath. 
Armed with a stolen cricket bat. 
And the Wisden Almanac.
Asked me to trade
My tenor sax.
For a sequined glitter gown,
Pair of glam stacks.
But it’s a conversation piece
(Although I can’t play the damned thing)
So I said:
‘No thanks’.
