like tides
the steady breathing of the sea
memory
tugs at her shore
*
she has become
so fragile
the wind might lift
her away
so pale
he can almost see the bones
under her skin
*
a grandma who gets lots of calendars for Christmas?
Ria’s brother is autistic and
he sees dead people
*
ARD Fairburn?
CK Stead?
Kevin Ireland?
- Frank’s parties
*
Polite, reserved.
Slightly quizzical demeanour.
Charming.
Said odd things.
A bit eccentric.
*
drops of rain slide down his glasses
the landscape swells
and glistens
he rubs his glasses between his fingers
tries to make out her
face through the blur
*
he finds her cardigan
sprawled on a rock
her sandals
tossed to one side
grains of sand sticking
to the brown leather
*
the wind snatches away her voice
she gathers the weather around her
like a cloak
*
the way you ran your hands
along the wall
I could almost feel the rough
texture of plaster
*
I wanted to run my fingers
over your spine
*
the glossy skin
of rain on the streets
she walks
on the other side
*
who is Sophie Moleta?
she shines too bright
*
someone finds a set of false teeth
a bridge breaks
floating rocks
someone who has met Bill Clinton
one huge yellow eye
set em straight
*
boundaries in hospital
paintings/owner
where do the names come from?
this is all very well, and
no one is going to rescue me.
