4 x Short Poems
Yesterday
Echoing yesterday
The intimacy of your coughing
Becomes grating after a few minutes.
Across the Miles
Across mile after mile
All you could hear
Was the tapping of rain
Signalling across the divide
On your car windowsill.
What lies underneath
Leaping into a lake of leaves
You are never quite sure
What is underneath them.
The Camera never lies
Turning around
The camera shows his smile
Unedited in the moonlight
As he turned around
To shoot him again.

Looking out of the window in each of the four panes of glass - - -
I can see all of these poems.
