When Sky Swallows The City
By Shaine Melrose
I come down in blue
droplets of rain
streaks of felted cloud
grey skies turn black
sink into green.
I come down in blue
festival face paint
river red gum grins
gloved fingers reach
towards nightfall.
I come down in blue
eyes of laughter
stage a banquet of
sunshine to light
up your solitude.
I come down in blue
denim overalls fix
the leaking faucet
hang the back door
on brass hinges.
I come down in blue
cascades of water
your lover again
on this ocean
of winter.
