Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram
I have lost you to sleep again.
sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram
I read the time in shadows on the wall -
the shards of light through the slats on your window
ah ha ha ha!
I ease myself from under your languid arm, fumble on my boots
and hear you breathe through your alarm I disarm it for you,
you rarely heed it anyway I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
school bell ring messing up the play
ah ha ha ha!
A note, penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand saying gone
down the shops for a walk I'll bring back some sandwiches
and then I kiss your face, the black and the blue tie it into my laces,
I don't want the wander blocking up the view
ah ha ha ha!
I stumble out into the afternoon.
still salty from drink and the late night pool
I'll be gone an hour at most, you will be more diagonal
I've a head on me in the post,
I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
ah ha ha ha!
