Part of Duffy’s collection ‘Feminine Gospels’, this poem explores a relationship between two women and how they don’t need to tell each other with words that they love each other, that their love can be spoken in actions.
White Writing Annotated
No vows written to wed you,
I write them white,
my lips on yours,
light in the soft hours of our married years.
No prayers written to bless you,
I write them white,
your soul a flame,
bright in the window of your maiden name.
No laws written to guard you,
I write them white,
your hand in mine,
palm against palm, lifeline, heartline.
No rules written to guide you,
I write them white,
words on the wind,
traced with a stick where we walk on the sand.
No news written to tell you,
I write it white,
foam on a wave
as we lift up our skirts in the sea, wade,
see last gold sun behind clouds,
inked water in moonlight.
No poems written to praise you,
I write them white.
