You are not here
21-22 June 2016
You are not here
Playing hide and seek
Within shadow of your smile
You and I take part
In teasing childhood games
You are not here
All wardrobes emptied
Of imaginary shirts
Worn with would be ties
Not chosen together
You are not here
The kettle boils
The humming sound of closures
As water simmers
Now breaching fever’s peak
You are not here
The window pane’s cool
Crystallising the vapour
Blowing off my thoughts
Winds down mind’s idle clocks
You are not here
Your voice a dark gift
An orchestra of taut chords
Ringing from the stars
Blending me in solace
You are not here
Ethereal shape
You whisper through the oceans
Dilating shrinking
Within circles of Time
Reading of the poem:
First Snow – Clint Mansell & The Kronos Quartet
Stay with me- Clint Mansell
Lux Aeterna / Requiem for a Dream – Clint Mansell & The Kronos Quartet
