Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram
I have lost you to sleep again.
Sleeping as we do on opposite
Sides of a venn diagram I read the time
In shadows on the wall the shards of light
Through the slats on your window
Ah ha ha ha!
I ease myself from under your languid arm,
Fumble on my boots and hear you breathe
Through your alarm I disarm it for you,
You rarely heed it anyway
I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
School bell ring messing up the play
Ah ha ha ha!
A note, penned clumsily in this
Century's type-ruined hand
Saying gone down the shops for a walk
I'll bring back some sandwiches and
Then I kiss your face,
The black and the blue tie it into my laces,
I don't want the wander blocking up the view
Ah ha ha ha!
I stumble out into the afternoon.
Still salty from drink and the late night pool
I'll be gone an hour at most,
You will be more diagonal
I've a head on me in the post,
I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
Ah ha ha ha!
