From All @ Sea 2014 coming soon on Amazon

 

Rain came again

in swathes of summer sweat

trilling through the gutters

turning trees to liquid colour

 

You called from outer space

the line was disconnected

lost in my head  I read

your questions, asked you to wait

 

another life time.

 

I see nothing but water

bubbling through the pavement

slick beneath my feet, surfacing

in my sheets, to drown me.

 

You appear in other’s faces

jump the gap between their needs

& the memories they fall from me

like this rain they’re all invading

 

leaving me soaking wet.
