Have a read of my poem ‘Here’, first published in Blue Fringe Art & Literature Exhibition 2021 Collected Works. The poem is also part of my debut poetry collection ‘The Cellist, a Bellydancer & Other Distractions‘ (Ginninderra Press).
I hope you enjoy it.
Here
Each night the train
you cannot see
sounds a final journey
and the lightness which lifts you
in its healing promise all day
lets you down.
Now you pace,
heating up rooms,
pulling down blinds.
Into the silence
with its unknown destination,
conversations not yet had
or imagined.
Midnight threatens,
more enemy than
the worst enemy.
But, you are here now
in this moment.
