When the snow stops

Like a clown, walking down past the hotel room

his red-nosed cigarette alight.

The lobbyist winks, he recognises me.

 

Tap tap I'm leaving. Tap tap.

 

The train with swollen hearts departs this thawing furnace.

In the corner is the clown;

Comfied round his wearied eyes and weary pride.

Playing with her number like a child with a toy, wondering,

 

will the embers suffice?

To decoy and employ our tangled kisses and nibbles and bites through the nights.

Or get soaked up in depravity and a bottle of gin?

Excluded in the watered down reality of the phone.

 

The clown remains without a clue,

Are you thinking about me? I'm thinking about you
