Brighton In September
You traced
A heart in the water
Of a rock pool
In the morning
As we still glowed
From the loving
As milk floats raced
Along the seafront and
Seagulls raided the bins
But later...
Time fell into the tide
And when we talked
It became heavily conjunctive
And we lost it all
Suddener
As we could ever have imagined
Because you never
Knew the difference
Between you
And what you said.
