In Opposite Directions
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ train of tears
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ in shade
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ phrases air-brush ¦¦¦ canvas.
Puzzling minds ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ like my own
¦¦¦¦¦¦ to stillness.
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ the acrobats ¦¦¦ gone
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ you and I,
Face to face but travelling
In opposite directions-
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ you alone I watched depart,
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
(Blackout of Directions/misdirections by Barry Tebb)
