And on our way home that sodium night
your windows wept the tears of the world,

​

twin trails, as the A3 artery jammed
with tail-lit red distended into the hills.

​

Decline and not death, not shatters but spills
love into the back seat, foetally curled.

​

The cars facing back at us flashed in the pan
a hand-cut forever of brilliant white.
