1.

In the aching light.

I stand for a long time thinking how small your hand.
2.

Of another

I had held at some previous time,

though it was nothing I could put my tongue to. 
3.

My personality at this time:

say, elusive at best

an annihilated jumble.
4.

The throbbing in my leg

becomes audible time.
5.

The central question

I was forced to revisit time and time again

in his sessions was: ‘Where did?’
6.

I slipped in and out of consciousness.

At times when I opened my eyes he was sitting beside me.
7.

By this time his voice radiated menacing intensity.
8.

Disaster, he had told me.

If ever there was a time

when a little external structure was required. 
9.

Sounds settle into a dull murmur.

By the time I have dressed they are completely silent 
10.

Swedenborg was explicit this time:

we must take one of the ambulances to the crash site

and blend in with the other rescue crews. 
11.

Over the clumped terrace houses:

a pyramid flashes four times in the sky

I pull off my latex gloves.
12.

It is time.
13.

Did I love you enough

at the time?
14.

Lifted into warmth

that time on the barge

that may or may not.
15.

Pontoons.

There are not many boats moored this time of year,

still fewer residents. Just you. Just I.
16.

A signal lodged in the sky.

Throbbing into existence four times. 
17.

Four is the heart’s time sequence:

 equal by equal.
18.

Some genetic paradigm

to orient myself next time around – 
19.

Yes.

But she may have died in the end this time.
20.

I hope so.

Remember what happened last time?
21.

Over the lens.

I study her boat for a long time

extrapolate her movements from the shift of the hull in water. 
22.

We both turn our heads

to the timer

watch the last sand drain from the glass.
23.

Suddenly and stare

at the ceiling through your eyes.

I hear your childish voice for the first time.
24.

For the first time

it is some time else. 
25.

It is time to meet the sonic chambers.
26.

He laughs again,

this time as a baby might – all gums and drawn lips.

He walks away, a column. 
27.

Of the building’s staggering height.

In recent times it has come to serve another more private purpose 
28.

Obelisk Enterprises reserves all rights

to manipulate time, space and any collected data. 
29.

Three times in the sky ridge      a void in the dream.
30.

Channels I have calved.

Her mouth moves all the time

breath squeezed from between lips in a repetitive, controlled gesture.
31

She mumbles     ‘life can be hard sometimes

                                                  but I really quite like it.’
32.

Three times it has all fallen through my fingers.
33.

If you fail to materialise at this time you will receive no further communications.
34.

Time is very big.
