Julie McElhone #27 How things are in here

Between us is liquid light,

the swirl of life, cut sometimes

into awkward shapes, omitted or forgotten:

it is rare and daily,

a stationery cycle, gulp at it as you travel,

keep your plans, go where you say you will,

reveal yourself, anonymously, not too much

just enough for tea,

don’t fuck it up, for there are possibilities

yet. Between us.
