The lights circle my glass
Distant fireworks
Stop
We're at the station
The bird girls sit on the beach and close their wings
Salt crystalises on their faces
After a time they are statues
After a time they are rocks
After a time they are spaces where water collects

There are candles in the sky
The lights go out and I'm flying

The wires whistle
As clouds pass

A hundred mes
Scattered over the bed
All of them in love

Leaving a home
Oily marks on the walls
Empty patches on the floor
Where the sofa used to be
Ought to be
An El of dust
Marks what was
And home
Feels like
A raid

A scattering of golf balls
      On the brown field
            Squawk
                  And fill the air

The leaves crackle
And the packets scamper
As I walk up the street
On the way to the postbox

All these people
Hanging upside down from the clothes line

Orange: Night time leaves
Orange: Night time pavements
Orange: Night time walls
Night time railings are black

You could fit a layer of skin
Between our hands
To keep you and I apart
Which is kind of like real life, isn't it?
Red lines on your lips
I push and you dissolve
Because you are not there
There's a butterfly in the bathroom
I can't open the window

On my body
Pieces of fashion
Jumbled up
Everyone in The Meadows has a bright orange shopping bag
Pink pink pink
Dulux colours in the sky

Honey covered porridge with pumpkin seeds on top

A spider has spun a web of cracked glass at the corner of my window
In a hundred and fifty years all the light will be splintered
It's early morning
Five squirrels cross the road
