Blink

When I blink
the world shifts and blurs
and becomes
something more
- something softer
than this lonely wet street
of dog barks
and violent smells

When I blink
I can see
a ghost of you
in the distance
you in your too short trousers
and your red red shirt

When I blink
I can hear
a whispered name
that only you called me
and I blink in response
- my eyelashes sticking together
glued with honey

And when I blink again
there is only the wind
and its long fingers
in my too long hair
