Wrapped in Terry

Terry waits while ideas drench
A boogie-fever shuffle
An Opera gargled
A world re-envisioned
Perhaps just a shiny clean oven
Perfection possible!
Greedy armpits clamp the covering
Lingering mist a blessing
Goat’s milk moisturiser and war paint
Uniform shrugged on
Battle cry a resigned sigh
Boulder begins its ascent
Domino faces traced through time
Line the bench feeding-trough
Minutes map expressions
Rummaged papers signed
Travel cards topped up, lunches packed
Terry will wait
