icy roof shower
nakedness dodging
the neighbours’ sharp eyes
icy roof shower
nakedness dodging
the neighbours’ sharp eyes
home from the sea
skin sun-scorched
the icy shock of the shower
in silence we watched the storm of birds
stitch the tattered sky together
as the sun slid down behind the hills
stars shone through the spaces they had missed
I looked at him. He looked at me. I looked at him. He looked at me. He did not blink. I moved half a step closer. He looked at me. I looked at him. Another half step. I looked at him. He looked at me. One more, final, step. I looked at him. He looked at me. I bit him.
floating in water
floating in air
floating in the love your hands hold

Come, stand on my shoulders
They are broad enough
Come, let my arms lift you
They are strong enough
And, when the wind blows,
And, when the spirit takes you,
Fly, fly free
beneath the star
beats the heart
above the beat
the star shines

beneath the star
beats the heart

your absence remains on my tongue
like bruised melon
though the taste fades
the sweetness never returns
from my wounds
wings grew
deep breath
and love
I flew
