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
sun
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
until the sun
mine
in the summer
until the sun fell

in the shadow beauty
in the shadow beauty
the scent in summer breeze
evening sun forever
we flourished
we flourished in the sun
harvesting one another’s flowers
and now we feed tomorrow’s fields
first rays
first rays tore the night
stories filled all people’s hearts
suddenly the dark
waiting for the event
southern sun cracks flagstones
northern wind cracks flags
old men sit in black shadow
wearing scarves
sun low
sun low
wind a knife
every day half a sky is held
