Behind the Bar

Your name is Katy
which gives you a certain air of accesibility
even though you are, by far,
the most beautiful woman I have ever seen
I like the way you pour drinks
and the delicare manner in which
you fold cutlery in a napkin
and when you disperse candles
to fire up the darkness of the pubs nooks and crannys.
I have developed my own suspicions about you,
that you may have the ability to galvanise an army,
my own personal Helen of Troy
if only I could talk to you
but I always know when you're around
because the lights shine brighter on John Bright street
and sometimes you eve smile at me
