daily, these gaps interrogate
me, this vast atomisation of
space, tiny unseen territories
that say,
you are there and
I'm over here, somewhere.
unquiet air anticipates our
wendings.
it's always been just so - love
trespassing like a blind
unspeaking giant,
bright in all that shining void.



dark rain sideways
with you, a caffeinated
drenching of us, and
her

fall sun flush
against these steel strings,
falling for you

oh, to jump across this
pond of darkening space
and fall into you

grape-dark clouds gather
winter's old light tightly
unfolding,
your triumphant smile
