THEN I SAID

13/9/2005

A book in my hand

Maybe I should go out
again tonight?

I have spent too long
digging a reasonable grave
for you and your memory
to toss and turn in

I should go out again
tomorrow morning maybe
to slowly walk the beach
that held our promise

I might see driftwood and
you there
and move no further
stand and watch
the clear waves of
innocence
declining the shore
