These Cirrus

words alter in gusts of light.
Breath from unknown, alien
ways of inhale and exhale
enrich the air and blood
of the sky's page. Invasion
refreshes shape of sight,
of clarity, struggles with stubborn
purity and permanence.
Cumulonimbus rains through light
empties to blankness that is not blankness

A Needle

light shivers on a cobweb strand 
between curved lace frills
of a woven white table cloth
in a spring front room.

Glare of harsh words
incandescent behind watery eyes
focus on insignificant details
each of us folds our legs
away from the other

below the radio songs
below the doppler
of cars and people outside
waves break up sunglint
on a pebbled shore

Destination

Last summer 
trips to Richmond Park
a short path to cakes and coffee
Your pale cool skin, delicate and soft
like my own mum’s but she was love
Three disparate people
like marbles rolling down a run
the destination certainty
travelling in silence best unsaid

Dad used to have leather-spots
To me still dad, they told me stories
fighter pilot, airline captain
love, laughter, a tea-cosy hat 
unexpected bouts of wisdom

You can read their stories in pale skin
time is marking mine
when you get enough spots
it calls your name
even the savage wounds lovers leave
translucent through the hurt
come to nothing 

Matt Guntrip
