Poem
I let the clocks run down
to stop you leaving
to stop time stealing you
goddess of longing
you ran from animal jaws
I ran to let you shiver
here in my arms
golden with longing
sparrows impatient to fly
branches of snow-ruined trees
clocks that lifted their faces
late and longing
we knew & let it go
we hovered away & back
we had one design
belonging
