We declare
- this our bedroom -
an independent
dominion
secede from
the United Kingdom
& the Commonwealth
of Nations
(although still enjoying
our European unions) .
Us a Republic
of Love
out on our own
our New Found Land
as Donne had done
a currency
of caresses
our national tongue
...kisses
needing nothing
but the other
to complete
our independence
flying the flag
of happiness
in this our brave
new world
of
Love.
