In the honeymoon phase
Of a relationship break-up
Before the house is sold
Or new homes identified
Another café, on another day
In a town
Without any recommendation
Other than the café
In the drilling-down essence
Of two people falling apart
Before new shoots of life
Find their way through the earth
A pair of colour-coded Italian bicycles
With matching mustard-wall tyres
Each have drop handlebars
Although neither is a female frame
