the time you take
to collect and display
I hear the ticks tock
In the nodding of the hyacinths
you collect and display
taking time to show me
giving time to hold me
the time you take
to collect and display
I hear the ticks tock
In the nodding of the hyacinths
you collect and display
taking time to show me
giving time to hold me
I have arrived at the end
my heart is pumping
full to exploding
you
in every heartbeat
sunflowers fill the horizon
petals picked up in the breeze
summer sunflower is ending
through the long grass
blood sweat and tears
unknown the destination
morning sky fresh flinted
dew or the memory of yesterday’s rain
waiting and watching and watching and waiting
and finally the sunrise
if the world slowed
and stopped
and started spinning
in the opposite direction
could I hold on to you?
no warning
like the dawn her look falls on me
tsunami shipwreck
the mirror held up
before the closing eyes
catches the closing moments of a dream
small mirror
sidelong glancing
how will the evening end
against a white sky
rainbows all colours of blue
changes tomorrow
