patterning


it’s raining
sad summer rain
at 5am this morning

as i go to bed
to the sound of birds.

i write an inscription of

the people i have allowed myself to lose,

a memory of
(the rest of my life)

shot into the sun.

i can barely feel your arm around my waist
as we speak
in silence and subtitles

i wanted to be a witness (to this)

i wind up

humiliated by the dawn.

    pitter patter
    clicker clacker
    dancing your words
    in my head
    an untterable point in space
    sad rain
    jes, how’s the weather now in Sydney town?

    alex and i sat in the pattering warm night rain until the early hours of the morning smoking cigarettes, drinking red wine and talking about politics, hip-hop, and of course, bruce springsteen.

    this was lovely rain that comes from a hazy-almost-summer night sky and makes my hair go crazy curly.

    what’s the weather like in chile town?
