enjoying the green space by the cathedral
spire pricking the blue autumn sky
stopping me, now a local, to ask
would you take some pictures please
first alone, then with my friend
landscape then portrait
mobile then iPad
we're going home tomorrow
to the other city of wool
the one of the hanging sheep

...for the heat to hot up
the sun to spot me
for clouds to come
pull me under their covers
and soak me through
I'm ready

blocks lined-up from blue-prints
radiate back late summer heat
deny sleep

it's been dark so long
but for one ray of sunshine
hearing you smile

in this moment I saw you
impressed upon the sheet of heaven
your wings
lifting you above all
that ever bound you here

somewhere in between
heat of summer / autumn mist
dry shimmer of leaves

needle lifts off vinyl
arm clicks to rest
low buzz of speakers
gently suppressed by rain
darkening the street
tickling the silver birch leaves
forming a wassssshhhhh
behind a passing car

oh! welcome down draught
wash away harvest dust
cool our sheets for sleep

there was a chill in the air
it caught my breath
dry leaves scuttered along the gutter
cloud veiled the stars, mussed the Moon
Cold? you questioned
pulling closer, looking up
smile shaping to kiss
