Night lifted upwards like a stage curtain
Stars clank together
Trains rattle by
I wonder 'Who am I?'
Then I remember
Walking along a gravel path
And see a great apparition before my eyes
That blows away in the wind
With the slamming shut
Of a Skoda's door
Nothing but grass ahead
Not even dreams
Even nightmares escape with
The apologetic light of dawn
Heel snaps
I fancy a ginger snap
But I left my purse at his.
Dog scowls
I wince
I have not been back since
But I probably should see my mum today
Remembering a bill I have to pay
Debts washed away
With vodka and gin
Flatmate asks 'Where have you been?'
Remnants of red nail varnish vanish
Phone buzzes like a bumblebee
Maybe somebody still loves me
