Thank you Agatha<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that I might kiss you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you the artist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose that I am this artist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How successful are you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at your house <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must have enjoyed great success <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have never sold a painting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you own all of this <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes every brick every flower <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I even own the marble sands <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the beach at your pleasure <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you receive it from your family <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Receive what <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of this and your beautiful beach <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have no family <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only the blackbirds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blackbirds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes you can see them in the trees <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do you not invite them in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are very shy birds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike the swifts and swallows <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are very arrogant birds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot be sure <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travel <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travel breeds a sense of maturity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to live near a church <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it is no longer a church <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is now redundant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody loves God anymore <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is very sad <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the church was used until recently <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an indoor market <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selling everything trendy and chic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You said until recently <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did it close <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It did not actually close <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was closed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By whom <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An eighteenth century memorial fell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happily the church was empty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise somebody might have died <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did it fall after all those years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was an earthquake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An earthquake in your home town <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do not get earthquakes in this area<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a history of them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we sit on a tectonic plate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One particular tremor <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrecked a sister church <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over eight hundred years ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were many people killed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing was recorded<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It you do not paint <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are you called the artist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I work within my eye <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I describe these paintings in great detail <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are very popular <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People hang them on their walls <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But they are not physical Jack <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can people hang <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something that only you can see <\/p>\n\n\n\n
May I kiss you Agatha <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will give you my beach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you enjoy the marble sand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about the blackbirds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will be happy for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they give beaches away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a frequent basis <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have tempted me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will accept your beach <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In exchange for a kiss <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I would like you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To paint me on the beach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using only the colour blue <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will close my eyes Agatha <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I have never painted <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total darkness before <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
