Dust Print




Dust Print
By Popular Demand! It makes me so happy every time someone tells me they have used my poem Dust for their wedding - lots of people have asked if it will ever be available as a print, and it’s finally here. Another collab with the fab Medley Design Studio, available both as the full text and a standalone line - in both a beautiful blue and a classy cream - with a discount for a matching set. I probably won’t reprint all four once I know which ones people actually like, so get them while you can!
A3 Unframed print - Printed on 100% recycled and FSC paper in Leeds UK.
Full text reads:
It’s not the flowers; it’s the
weeding in the mud with you.
It’s not the champagne; it’s the
cuppa in that favourite mug you use.
It’s not the chocolate; okay, yes, it is —
but not just one or two. It is becoming
Bruce Bogtrotter and Augustus Gloop.
It’s voting frozen pizza
over fancy grub with you,
because some nights nothing
can beat a slice of comfort food.
It’s knowing anything I eat
will include some for you,
because you’re not hungry, but you
might just have a couple spoons.
It’s not the dreaming;
it’s the waking up with you.
I want to be here long enough
to gather dust with you.
For us love isn’t in the air;
that is just where we found it.
All this is built upon what
we have done to ground it.
It’s not the spark when we first met;
it is the lifetime built around it.
It’s by small amounts that
mounds amount to mountains.
I need not justify, adjust
or fear I’m judged by you.
Such is the glorious
consistency of loving you.
My heart’s not skipped a beat;
it still constantly thuds for you.
Such is the everyday
magnificence of loving you.
It’s not something we fell into
so much as stumbled through.
It’s the spectacular
normality of loving you.
It’s not the dreaming;
it’s the waking up with you.
I want to be here long enough
to gather dust.
Harry Baker
