WALKING SOLO
— Who the hell can see forever? —
Wild is the minute, clear is the sky,
A world of colour and sight rushes by.
Portals of discovery abound around
This newfoundland: sheer cliffs,
Flower with vivid Mesembryanthemums,
This Cape of Good Hope contrasts
With the all-round invisibility of you.
Your absence distracts me from the flesh and blood
Epiphanies of cloud and sky and sun,
Half-perceived, half-created images of you
Enter my mind as time flies across the eye –
I see, I see this kippering sky drifting by
No time for you, no time for I
Grasp these genuflections, cling to your sigh,
Inscape the day for wild is the way,
as I whisper our long goodbye.
