Shame on me
Or just unlucky
A vast space
Joined at the waist
Eating pain
Love in vain
Finding Jesus
Holding cactus
Just in time
Dangling vine

He is handsome
She has a good voice
He is hard worker
He is an eight
She is a 45
He is a 41
They like laughing
They like good food
They like each other’s company
The world spins under a sombre sky
They look out a window onto a vast, open plain
Without a thought, the sky turns black
Bright the mid-day focus
The days slip by
The phone rings, a kiss on the cheek before I can turn
Follow the sun
With clear, unclouded motions
Your thoughts a silent majority
Pouring the liquid strains
Washing them pure in the rain
Gorgeous light bleaching them sane
A threnody of bleak stillness
Sweep against the sun
