birds reflected in the gutter
looping between us and the clouds
a wing’s breadth of existence revealed
sky
in your eyes
in your eyes
I see stars
in the skies
the sky is burning
the sky is burning
I hold your hand
You left me flowers
You left me vases of flowers that did not die
A lemon yellow sun in the cobalt sky
A written instruction I was never to cry
All I wanted was to unhear goodbye
rain washed blue
rain washed blue skies grey
castle battlements shining
my thoughts are autumn
Moon
Ali stretched his hand towards the night sky and pulled down a crescent of milk-white seaglass, polished smooth by decades of waves. ‘Here is all the moon I can reach,’ he said. His lover smiled in silence, her eyes full of starlight. She touched the glass to her lips.
sky cool blue promise
sky cool blue promise
sun teasing through wisping clouds
eyes behind a fringe
Clouds in the sky
clouds in the sky
cloud my mind
clear tomorrow
I could gaze forever
sea
sky
your eyes
I could gaze forever
Planes cross above us
planes cross above us
wide chalk lines on blue
skies promise freedom
