the longest night

 the longest night

summer’s window opens wide on

a motorbike forever going nowhere 

uphill a dog is barking antiquity and

all the gargoyles of nuisance are 

spouting of blather’s growling 


long pink clouds on a powderpuff blue

are shredding in captain scarlet

in the heat of reentry

rehearsing is failing to sleep

again rings again and again


the window is shuttered

has spluttered its last say on

a breath drawn of sorrow for

here’s a watery moon of no abode

arrested of time’s insouciance
