What do you think are the implications of the words ‘unlocked’ and ‘connected’?
We watched it apart, and perhaps that was my mistake,
letting the half-darkness fall over you in the city,
while I traced its spreading hand across the fields,
following the rooks, flying in threes to roost.
But as the sun became quarter, then half moon,
it unlocked in me, and I saw us connected again,
by the day’s slowing to monochrome, by the mid-day midnight breeze
and by the moon’s shadow passing over and between us.
