It was a fickle afternoon.
Up on the roof of your sixth floor apartment...
you are to my poetry like the stars
are to infinity. the verses that blossom...
you.
you have a way about you...
oh sweet child, do you still pluck a
dandelion to adorn every bouquet...
with time dressing all wounds leisurely,
do you think memories are nocturnal...
I took off the white gloves,
washed my hands...
Suppose this broken bodied man
once dreamt in avalanches of colour...
I tried to find home
by looking within and...
the cries of the lark do me in,
carrying with it – the eastern winds...
I who have always found ways to escape,
skilled at filling gaps and stitching...
Now that the storm has settled,
I walk back along the trail...
…
and we tire of the echoes of exhaustion...
