I crossed the river
10 December 2015
Breathless and aching
Every fibre agony
Sanctuary’s walk
Mismatched memories
Winding pathways and meadows
Dollhouses and trains
Tremors in whispers
A cold call to wrong numbers
Dialling the waves
Oceans hung on cliffs
Between skies and the valleys
Cheating gravity
Mathematical
Clockwork ticking core numbers
Precision like sword
Caterpillar crawled
On leaf flying to nowhere
Reddened veins that flared
Tick tock said the clock
Nightingales like mocking birds
Sang shrill the needles
A leap through thin air
Ashen leaf fell to the ground
The night carried me
Hushed party zone cries
In midnight’s celebration
Of butterflies’ wings
I crossed the river
Wound up in dark blue shadows
Other side of Time
