the first fledglings have flown
demanding broods of Starlings and Sparrows
first in line for Sunflower Hearts

strong sea breezes keep midges at home
fresh air in lungs and
washing drying on the line.

slender margins
iron girders

mathematical gymnastics
men on the Moon

rocket fuel
clockwork doll

a rocking horse
and a gun

frilly dresses
cowgirl boots

chewin tobacco
a killer smile.

a naked sky lays down to meet
all breath of creatures to sing

a naked sky a dance a tribe
all comes to pass in rhythm

a naked sky deep ocean deep
all comes to pass to pass again

a time of grass-cutting
cutting back too much growth

a memory of freedom
too much constraint

walked away with joy
living with love

the Universe cupping
a child of forever gone.

I have never thought about getting here
27 years old and 10 pounds lighter than 8 weeks ago
It's all in numbers, you see
Like
How many cigarettes I have smoked today
How many drinks I've had
How many times I've lost you

It's all in numbers
And as I count the eyelashes shadowing my eyes
I still remember
That
It's been 1000 years
Since my heart has been
Broken down.

The way it has been
In these 24 hours
Since you decided to say goodbye
For the last time.

a perfect pristine enamelled mouthful
hold back the serpent
living at the top of the bottomless cavern
