Words whispered on the breeze

The Wolds, up over the folded jackets

Of violins and strings galore

There through the flickered leaf

The video of the motor cycles roar


The stillness of the rolled up straw

Already giving birth to grass

If ever we should find silence

Would we could be so lucky to last


Up and down and pan

All around and all ways across the horizons

In the stillness of sleep

With a breeze from faraway offshore islands


You quietly began to talk

Of last nights film; about sliding off

From the edge of the world

About the contrasts


Between here and Kings Cross station

I listened with great intensity

To the comfort of your voice

I wanted you to talk forever
