Saffron I dream in
Drapes of saffron
Ethereal
Finely Drawn
Diffusing
Light softly defining

Incense I swim in
Pools of incense
Smokescreen
Opaquely calm
Floating
All memories a blur

Neither here nor there
Somewhere
In the middle
Of that nothing
Which the crushed heart
Embraces

Railtracks threading continental stations
My eyes mirrors wide
Roads linking the leaving behind and the looking for
My heart longing to

Find

Insatiable I breathe in
Miles of insatiable
Horizontal
Infinitely drawn
Blue
My disappearing into
