A haze of sleep and a shimmering blur
That rises like the summer heat
From the tarmac road
Distorting all that you see
All that you feel?
A path, haltingly etched out
In the fog
Shambling along,
Executing the routine extremely well,
Practised hand?

And night fell
In a haze of smoke and sleep worn eyes.
The perfect dive.
A body cutting through the air.
A gleaming arc.
And then the red.
And then the black.
And the quiet.


Water so warm that day
I counted out the waves
As they broke into surf
I smiled into the sun

The water so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed their short life
As they broke on the shoreline
I could see you
But I couldn't hear you

You were holding your hat in the breeze
Turning away from me
In this moment you were stolen
There's black across the sun
