I Go Walking In His City
night blurs blue
sky to electric
fish hatch in space
I search
for him in the café bars
lights ring
conversations
are a fume of voices
hovering in loops
above our mouths
the street lights
burn brilliantly
throats
of climbing honeysuckle
flower with shadows
my shadow
is one
moving and swimming
the street
belongs to the sea
trees waver
repeating
sighs in budding
leaves
canopies thickening
with night
he pours me a second glass
