I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure endless light,
All calm, as it was bright....
- Henry Vaughan, The World


Come here and lay with me awhiLe....
I have something to tell you....
and I need to whisper....
And feeL you close in the night.


( Pause )

MMM....
This is all so frighteNing you see....
what's happening right now....
the months that have passed and still
I find myseLf here,
knowing that you don't read these words anymore....

MMM....
littLe MiSS stRanGe is drifting beneath
the lightning flashes of a baLmly Melbourne summer....
the full moon lost in clouds shape-shifting to the
rumbLe of soft thuNder....

How still it is out here....
those clouds like private meditations
moving outside so many minds....
Up there where the bats just glide,
against this dreamy dreamy vision worLd....


MMM....
here with you in the night....
first-month summer burning bright....
the centuries of our kiN's souLs
not so fast asLeep....

Delicious mind-space
with no bLack holes....
floating junK just disappearing
so damn suddenLy....

Sweetheart,
kiss me damnit!

See, my heart soars....
Mine with yours....

My nippLes pine a good biting!



> > >

MMM....
the rain has finally come....
and I imagine you
deep within that winter of yours....
a different life now
for both of us....

( SiLence )

Sweetheart....
tell me....

How much do I let you go?

> > >

Mmm....
in an unfamiLiar worLd....
how do I sLeep?
