A broken spine of cloud above me
Barely winds across the sky,
A sky so clear that space can see us
Like a speck upon an eyeball.
What wind there is
Wraps your clothes against you
The long grass moulds you in its cup.
How definite you seem
As you lean across me cross-wise
And lower your face, and the broken spine
Is fixed somewhere above Kilburn.
I think how this transfixion must look from space.
