Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram
卜超 制作
I have lost you to sleep again.
sleeping as we do on opposite
sides of a venn diagram I read the time
in shadows on the wall the shards of light
through the slats on your window
ah ha ha ha!
I ease myself from under your languid arm,
fumble on my boots and hear you breathe
through your alarm I disarm it for you,
you rarely heed it anyway
I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
school bell ring messing up the play
ah ha ha ha!
A note, penned clumsily in this
century's type-ruined hand
saying gone down the shops for a walk
I'll bring back some sandwiches and
then I kiss your face,
the black and the blue tie it into my laces,
I don't want the wander blocking up the view
ah ha ha ha!
I stumble out into the afternoon.
still salty from drink and the late night pool
I'll be gone an hour at most,
you will be more diagonal
I've a head on me in the post,
I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
ah ha ha ha!
