His words touch my heart

He can be clumsy and oafish

A real man’s man

caps left off the toothpaste,

lids from tea and coffee canisters,

Toilet seat up, socks everywhere

and milk forgotten out again

Annoying as hell to

a woke woman who prides

her feminism and other isms

which take her on trips

across London in support

of the underdog

But today his words

touch my heart as I head off

to a Black Lives Matter

demo in our local park

“Take care and remember,

to me Black Wives Matter.”
