| Put on your coat carefully |
| Don’t cry |
| Shake off the comfort of lethargy |
| It’s fine |
| |
| I start to think back |
| Of what we did each day |
| You disturb the dust |
| Such a pretty trace |
| Wiped away |
| |
| I only needed it one hour before |
| I only had to get it five minutes ago |
| There was only the cause before I had to do it |
| I only had to get it before I had to stop it |
| |
| Now someone else can |
| Someone else can |
| No really really really |
| No someone else can |
| |
| Tomorrow todays ago |
| Past our control |
| Three seconds cease |
| Not more left |
| Than falling Roma |
| Cast over board |
| From the same boat |
| A held note |
| From your poem |
| Passed over |
| Held out hand and |
| Shattered into water |
| |
| Punctuation gone awry |
| In this possible lie |
| Ithica lied |
| Attica lied |
| I think I lied |
| These pilot lies |
| |
| In the window |
| The black throws the room back |
| Shutting the blinds |
| Only deadweights the hold |
| And wrings us dry |
| |
| Put on your coat so carefully |
| It’s time |
| Stuttering sounds |
| From along the perished seams |
| An open ravine |
| A line that runs |
| You and me |
| |
| Myself-said dry words |
| Closed off at night like now |
| Out funnel to empty |
| I don’t have the heart for this |
| |
| But her voice came back to me |
| We fallen together |
| Her words were plain |
| She said; I cant remember |
| |
| And we go out |
| |
| |
