she flits into view again
and my clumsy, aching body
gives chase
(sometimes she tires
and i carry her pale, fading shape
under the rain)
her feet patter down the wooded street
and her happy, strained laughter
draws me
(sometimes she frightens me
and my skin weeps at her touch
in the night)
the moon slides across us both
and the hot syrup of the night
infects us
(sometimes she is content
and with her hand in mine we skip
through electric air)
but tonight, as so often
she is ahead of me
-running, tripping, young, immune-
hiding, happy
Into the half-life of silence
(momentary images and experiences sing from me)
Gruff whispers of newspapers in weak hands
(settle the few hours of streaking life under my surface)
The polite shields and distracted expressions
(grate painfully against my eyes)
- Then -
The first notes colour themselves against the grey
The ether builds happily in the empty air
- And -
As the smile waxes and wanes with thoughts
(they look away)
As the pen softly crosses the page
(they shift in their seats)
The music of poetry plays for those who love it
(as they pretend not to hear)
