Evening - One drop........

One drop
of coral coloured water paint
splashed across the horizon
and bled
into the evening sky.

A lonely zephyr
passed by the window sill
and I felt
the lick of a breeze
against my skin.

I heard the hum
of some vehicle
dying in the distance
until there was only the stillness
of the river
and the sound of the world
spinning
through the \universe.

The Dream

The dream
unzipped the night
and spilled the stars
into my eyes.
Early morning sunrise.

The Drain

Yesterday it rained
and the rain
ran down all the drains,
as water does,
and I heard the sewers singing.
I was standing at the corner
of the road - waiting
but at my feet there was music.
It went -
pirrop plip plop
prip prip
pl - ip prop
plip purrop
purrity purrity
pl - ip prip
plop.
