Heaven and Earth
is moved
everyday
every night
Heaven beyond your ken
and Earth
Earth a mother to your very bones
spins around a star
not just any star
but Sun igniting the dark.

No words

When you write your broken so well it breaks me, what should I say?
Tell me, you’re good with words.

Or do I turn away, drop one of those hearts we all keep in our pocket,
aware of how small it is, worse still - how hollow?
In real-time and in person, you'd be there, right? On the end of the phone, or boiling the kettle and breaking open a packet of biscuits **
on the tide of sop
a seahorse
on a pencil of tin
on the shore of haze
an antelope
flop the wheeze ***
