lilting and waving along i look around, up and down, towards the sun
birds swing along in the air, bringing with them the tide, and I pull it up around your chin
i thought we could stay a while inside
listening to the lights buzz and flicker outside
together sitting here in the warm humid misty night
stepping out onto the wet grass, little bits of green sticking to my feet
I walk forward until I’m standing in the light of a street lamp
the yellow light flows down onto my face
i can hear the sea and breathe in the warm air
i walk back, you smile and slide off your chair
we both lie down on the couch and stare at the ceiling for a while

lights flicker off in a grey cold room, and through my bleary eyes the multiplied glow of laptop screens looks like stars
