VALENTINE

MRS. MIDAS

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

It was late September. I'd just poured a glass of wine, begun to unwind, while the vegetables cooked. The kitchen filled with the smell of itself, relaxed, its steamy breath gently blanching the windows. So I opened one, then with my fingers wiped the other's glass like a brow. He was standing under the pear-tree snapping a twig.

I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love. Here. It will blind you with tears like a lover. It will make your reflection a wobbling photo of grief.

Now the garden was long and the visibility poor, the way the dark of the ground seems to drink the light of the sky but that twig in his hand was gold. And then he plucked a pear from a branch, we grew Fondante d'Automne, and it sat in his palm like a light bulb. On. I thought to myself, Is he putting fairy lights in the tree?

I am trying to be truthful. Not a cute card or a kissogram. I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are.

He came into the house. The doorknobs gleamed. He drew the blinds. You know the mind; I thought of the Field of the Cloth of Gold and of Miss Macready. He sat in that chair like a king on a burnished throne. The look on his face was strange, wild, vain; I said, W hat in the name of God is going on? He started to laugh.

Take it. Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring, if you like. Lethal. Its scent will cling to your fingers, cling to your knife.

I served up the meal. For starters, corn on the cob. W ithin seconds he was spitting out the teeth of the rich. He toyed with his spoon, then mine, then with the knives, the forks. He asked where was the wine, I poured with a shaking hand a fragrant, bone-dry white from Italy, then watched as he picked up the glass, goblet, golden chalice, drank. It was then that I started to scream. He sank to his knees. After we'd both calmed down, I finished the wine on my own, hearing him out. I made him sit on the other side of the room and keep his hands to himself. I locked the cat in the cellar. I moved the phone. The toilet I didn't mind. I couldn't believe my ears:

MILES AWAY I want you and you are not here. I pause in this garden, breathing the colour thought is before language into still air. Even your name is a pale ghost and, though I exhale it again and again, it will not stay with me. Tonight I make you up, imagine you, your movements clearer than the words I have you say you said before.

how he'd had a wish. Look, we all have wishes; granted. But who has wishes granted? Him. Do you know about gold? It feeds no one; aurum, soft, untarnishable; slakes no thirst. He tried to light a cigarette; I gazed, entranced, as the blue flame played on its luteous stem. At least, I said, you'll be able to give up smoking for good.

W herever you are now, inside my head you fix me with a look, standing here whilst cool late light dissolves into the earth. I have got your mouth wrong, but still it smiles. I hold you closer, miles away, inventing love, until the calls of nightjars interrupt and turn what was to come, was certain, into memory. The stars are filming us for no one.

Separate beds. In fact, I put a chair against the door, near petrified. He was below, turning the spare room into the tomb of Tutankhamen. You see, we were passionate then, in those halcyon days; unwrapping each other, rapidly, like presents, fast food. But know I feared his honeyed embrace, the kiss that would turn my lips into a work of art. And who, when it comes to the crunch, can live with a heart of gold? That night, I dreamt I bore his child, its perfect ore limbs, its little tongue like a precious latch, its amber eyes holding their pupils like flies. My dream-milk

burned in my breasts. I woke to the streaming sun. So he had to move out. We'd a caravan in the wilds, in a glade of its own. I drove him up under cover of dark. He sat in the back. And then I came home, the woman who married the fool who wished for gold. At first I visited, odd times, parking the car a good way off, then walking. You knew you were getting close. Golden trout on the grass. One day, a hare hung from a larch, a beautiful lemon mistake. And them his footprints, glistening next to the river's path. He was thin, delirious; hearing, he said, the music of Pan from the woods. Listen. That was the last straw. W hat gets me now is not the idiocy or greed but lack of thought for me. Pure selfishness. I sold the contents of the house and came down here. I think of him in certain lights, dawn, late afternoon, and once a bowl of apples stopped me dead. I miss most, even now, his hands, his warm hands on my skin, his touch.

W HO LOVES YOU I worry about you traveling in those mystical machines. Every day people fall from the clouds, dead. Breathe in and out and in and out easy. Safety, safely, safe home. Your photograph is in the fridge, smiles when the light comes on. All the time people are burnt in the public places. Rest where the cool trees drop to a gentle shade. Safety, safely, safe home. Don't lie down on the sands where the hole in the sky is. Too many people being gnawed to shreds. Send me your voice however it comes across oceans. Safety, safely, safe home. The loveless men and homeless boys are out there and angry. Nightly people end their lives in the shortcut. W alk in the light, steadily hurry towards me. Safety, safely, safe home. (W ho loves you?) Safety, safely, safe home.
