I appreciate days among dandelions
breathing in the briny hue
whilst the cliff stands in the way
certainties flake off, goals even worse
everything is lively, once more
tasting like lavender
the same sauffron I battled with
colours my hands, I’m gently stroking
the rose-tinted flower’s uterus
all I can recall is
the clanking noise of the washing machine
where my parents conceived me
adamantly insisting
in having an extra rinse
Love must be the Great Flood
a tender eel, a rolling wave
swimming through our blood
until you are not the same
