I forget details
You cannot recall the date
We both know our truth

On Cigarettes
he announced I have given up!
six weeks and it’s rare I feel the lack
I knew just what he meant
having given up on us
but he omitted
how raw that rare
how this rare is more like blue
there is still a pulse
when the knife goes in
I twitch

On Hope x
sand grain off balance
others out of kilter fall
wind and tide smoothed shore

On Hope vii
when will this sadness end?
she asked, because she knew it must
we both could feel the cold lump of it
in our stomachs, welding us together
when we are both happy?
I offered, to see how happy might sound
it sounded like a bowl of tears
a set of randomly selected letters
it reprised the call of an albatross
fatally wounded

On Hope iii
woken by bird song
sun breaching the horizon
without memory

On Hope
see, you have survived
but how was this possible?
your heart was broken

keep on keeping on
however much it’s hurting
one step at a time

On Cricket
lost in crazy crowd
found myself wrapt in laughter
caught being happy

On Proof
words had made no sense
so you placed my hand inside
your heart packed with ice

On Memory
cycles of the Moon
cast silver upon our path
trace our parting steps
