Temperature

By | 1 February 2012

if the weather clears
she will take the sea road
walk along cliffs
hang out near rocks
where seals swim with purpose

if the weather clears
she will tie a line
behind the chook shed
hang dirty washing
in the sun

she will smother weeds
walk to a neighbour’s house
slide her heart in her pocket
hide it under a red jacket

if the weather clears
she will smell the last rain
tie her hair in a scarf
catch the last train
leave a letter behind
