at the top of the hill
I am still
the same size

drinks on the beach
the jiggle
in a pelican’s throat
queen-size bed
sometimes I wonder
where you go to
tinted mirror
what I think
I believe
bonfire smoke
we talk about
our disappointments
fresh line bait the look in the pelican’s eye
the slow time
between freeze and thaw
what am I waiting for?
sunset fishing the flood tide catching the light
sunrise
barred light on the walls
of the deportation centre
a little closer
to my old self
fresh snow
the hay’s first turn
the loose scent
of centuries
