"...to enclose the present moment; to make it stay; to fill it fuller and fuller, with the past, the present and the future, until it shone, whole, bright, deep with understanding."

Virgina Woolf, The Years


22.9.13

Teeth lined up in perfect rows


There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed
They do not wither in the morning light
I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows

Thinking I'd like to look at your teeth lined up in perfect rows
A maze of children feeding orchard trees
Where the flat lands stretch inside your mouth
And when you laugh all the star-thistles stumble out

The flat lands stretch inside your mouth
And when you laugh all the star-thistles stumble out

(I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows)
