spring knocks, and winter
does not answer, ignores the
buzz, buzz, buzzer, stands

still, no peeking from behind
the curtains, no creaking floorboards

we are always an

we are always an
illusion away from real
life – not knowing where

exactly the curtains can be

youth seems so

youth seems so
real, you can close
your eyes, return to
that moment, stir
the curtains, and still
find him
hiding there

pull back the curtains,

pull back the curtains,
we are not as dark as you
were led to believe

first light rises with

first light rises with
a flap of elephant
wings, stirs
the bedroom
curtains to uncover
the embrace
at its most
vulnerable spell

in every third yard

in every third yard
of curtain, there is
a propensity for
play, a game of
hide-and-go-
seek eagerly waiting
for the reveal.

are patterns that wish
to be left in darkness,
to hang perfectly
ironed by time –
please don’t pull

night arrives

night arrives
humming and
beaded, and when
dreams curve,
it’s time
to pull back
the curtains
