Here comes the sun

In six months time, we'll know the routine
Here comes the sun*
Nina thumping on the keys
Beaming sunshine, gentle sweep

Here comes the sun...

I can hardly wait


(Written the week before my first baby boy is due.)

*Here comes the Sun by the Beatles (perf Nina Simone)

Tin cans

I get used to their bloom. 

The places they're found
The joy they bring
A tunnel escape
for the voiceless opera

I get used to the blues
of their fading spectrum
Flight wreckage
from a budget airline
never cleared 

I get used to the way they held hope for so many answers,
 offered none, but enough for one more


And one more 

Biscuit foil sky / pyro pink

Biscuit foil sky

Sugar screams 
coming from the high tide.


It's a picture night designed

for heavy shoulders 
formed 

for carrying so much noise. 


Gulls grace the sea. 


I hope anyone in need

gets the chance to see 
this.


Biscuit foil sky.

Sea swimmers have soup in their veins 

I push a pram away from the sun, 

 transfixed on its stand off with the moon 

It backs down and bleaches the sky pyro pink... 


Others no longer focused on patchwork pavements either.
