Unified Coloured Hats

The calendar              thins
 

and spring’s cracks              zigzag the paths.

We sit              joined at the tips of words.

Made-to-fit conversations

wrap around us              like haloes.
 
 

We sit              unified

coloured hats aglow. A cold plate
works on what was once a good meal.
 

You imagine uniquely.

                         You are emphatic.
 

Lying flat like urban sprawl
 

                         a make-believe horizon

              evaporates.
 
 

I stand between you and the deep-blue rain.
