warmer than summer
underneath the haystack
the English tongue
she drinks beer
from the supermarket
in the town square
feeding potato-chips
to pigeons and sparrows
how far I've travelled to find
one need replaces another
her dog growls
at midnight revellers
coming too close
as she sleeps soundly
in the shoe-shop doorway
the night in my hair
turns black
burning stars
