Still heart
Like a pond
Whose secrets
Lie deep beneath
A girl walks
Alone
Through city streets
Beneath the flyover
In the meadow
Of the soul
A heart flutters
Like wildflowers
At her feet
A beer can
Rattles by
In the wind
A swan appears
In silhouette
Against a sky
Awake with promise
She spies the man
A derelict
Beard red with grey
Eyes so hungry
A dark cloud
Appears
It stains
The blue
She rolls up
Her sleeve
He passes
The needle
A petal falls
Red like blood
Lands on the pavement
She spits on its presence.
