Because Paradise

from ‘Surrealist Weather’

There was the wind too,
that scoured bald hills
for answers, finding only
insects to shatter against
our skin, our crib rocked
in the night:
the house built on sand.
You held the weather
in your eyes,
dark and writhing when
you turned them to the
sky, watched clouds
smoulder among the stars.
