Dust

A new collaboration with the brilliant poet Harry Baker. After years of people asking for it and even using it at their weddings, Dust is finally available as a print. Created with the Medley Design Studio, it comes in four variations. Choose the full poem or a single line, in deep blue or a warm cream. The set is available with a discount for anyone who wants the pair.

Printed A3 and unframed on 100 percent recycled and FSC certified paper in Leeds, UK.

The 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 just 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
