I stood on the hill and threw darts at the sun;
You arrived in silence.
Your first arrow curved in its flight, hit its mark full in the centre;
You, and the sun, forever.
sun
on the roof 2
icy roof shower
nakedness dodging
the neighbours’ sharp eyes
on the roof
home from the sea
skin sun-scorched
the icy shock of the shower
planting seeds
planting seeds by starlight
moonbeams guiding their growth
watered with tears and brightened by smiles
the wind from the north and the sun from the south
my brain needs power-
after hearing the voices
and stories of pain
my brain needs power-washing
with sunlight or rain
standing in the sun
standing in the sun
I photographed your shadow
you waved me goodbye
on a sunny day
on a sunny day I walked
breathing in the riverside shade
birdsong above me circled and centred me
and I missed you with a fierceness
dream
sun
light on your skin
you live to the south
you live to the south
waking in winter you see the sun before me
evenings I climb the highest hill
to hold it in my eyes a little longer
until suddenly like hope it slides away
skin sun hot
skin sun hot, salt streaked
roof terrace shower ice shock
light slants; we make our own rainbows
