Reverse ForwardA Poem by Brett HernanCompleted at 12.45am, (Australian Eastern Daylight Time), 16th March, 2016.1. Lay here, lie awake. Listen to the wind. No signal. Fingertips, through hair... Asleep 2. Eyes looking at each other's. A door closes in the wind. Unexplained, question exclamation Anthem, bruised. Single words, repeated... Alone. 3. Reverse repeated. Single words, bruised anthem unexplained exclamation in the wind. Fog horn sounds. In the wind, a door closes eyes looking into each others. Asleep, fingertips stroke hair, gently. No signal, lie awake, lie here. © 2018 Brett Hernan |
