Waiting for you on a Sunday afternoon
On my bench I remember the sun eroding your skin
Our land so far away

Sky
For her, the sky at night was velvet devoured by luminous moths.

Behold
Behold the sunbirds,
Mu
tters in her deathbed,
After all
What else is there to do,
Now that even the shadows have departed?

Long
Long after they have gone
She kept dreaming
The colour of their hair
Under the meandering afternoon sky

100
One hundred steps from the house to the newsagent
One hundred steps from the house to the park
One hundred steps from the house to the lights
One hundred steps from the house to the pond
One hundred steps going nowhere

Star
She thinks about falling stars. She misses the sky, the river, the wind.

Came
I came a long time ago
Have no friends
Just the streets and the sky
Do I feel alone?
Sometimes in
the afternoon
Fleeting rush swerving around my skin.
