1.
It’s 3am and there are shadows
everywhere.
I rise,
a perfect broken body.
I do not recognise
the darkness sitting
beside me
breathing quietly
and calmly.
Hours ago,
couples were calling their
goodbyes while I
said mine.
2.
The sound of a motorcycle
starts
splutters and
dies.
A car alarm goes off.
It screams and screams
into the deathly stillness.
I remember
your promises
again and again
loud and empty.
3.
I gaze into
the faces of the stars.
Their eyes twinkle
with wise words.
What is it you are not telling me?
Why does everything start and end
and nothing lasts?
The wind swoops down
and embraces me.
I taste salt.
I am shaking.
I stop.
I speak into the wind
as it vanishes and takes my words away.
May you listen to the voice of the wind
in your deepest silences.
May you forgive even when the World
will not forgive you.
4.
I put my head down,
rearrange by broken legs
and soar into a dreamless night.
