I have lost you to sleep again. sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn
diagram I read the time in shadows on the wall - the shards of light through the
slats on your window
ah ha ha ha!
I ease myself from under your languid arm, fumble on my boots and hear you
breathe through your alarm I disarm it for you, you rarely heed it anyway I
wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream, school bell ring messing up the
play
ah ha ha ha!
A note, penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand saying gone down the
shops for a walk I'll bring back some sandwiches and then I kiss your face, the
black and the blue tie it into my laces, I don't want the wander blocking up the
view
ah ha ha ha!
I stumble out into the afternoon. still salty from drink and the late night
pool I'll be gone an hour at most, you will be more diagonal I've a head on me
in the post, I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
ah ha ha ha!
