it is beginning to get dark.it will take 2 hours more.


even then if i went outside i would find light in the air.


but i am inside and i have been all day .


I am sitting by a window which is open a crack and


i can feel the cooling air on my arm.


The last hours of Tuesday trying to touch me.The outside winding it's way to me.


'i knew you were here ' it seems to say.


' and you knew i was outside why did you not


come out to me?How could you ignore me like that?


I burned a sun in the sky for you and


painted the heavens with a million cloud stories.


But you would not come out.


I swayed the trees and put songs in the mouths of birds


for you. I sprinkled rain drops to cool you and tickle you.


i sent a wind, you could have blown bubbles.


Why just look out at me like that?


i know you wanted me - you couldn't pass a


window without looking out at me.


You heard the cat I sent to call at your door.


You admired the perfume of cut grass that


i willed through your walls. I think that was your weakest moment. You looked for your keys


and phone in a half hearted way for about  six seconds.


But you couldn't think where your shoes were and that was enough for you to change your mind.


More tea , more emails, more texts,more guitar ,


more singing, more washing up and  cooking,


more talking on the phone and reading .


and that computer!And now what is


that you are doing? scribbling away furiously


as if you have only a few minutes


to write your dying words.I am done with you.


You disappointed me.


But I'll be back tomorrow.'
