Hallo.
I said good morning in the rain
to you last week. You smiled again
as though the thing was still there. But
the wind wept at my shoulder, smut
from smog and memory clouded round
and our slow truth, our jailed joy, frowned
through the iron rods of rain. It’s
strange to see you now, with his bits
of gold and stone, like a lost shrine
with no priest: but when you were mine,
you watched me worship; which is why
last week, I prayed good morning, dry
inside the shelter of your smile.
Hallo again. Please stay here for a while …
