...

I wish the world fell into silence

And darkness drunk up all the strangers. 

We sat on the floor

Smiles tangled

Elbows on knees

With all the left bottles of champagne 

Glasses around us

Queuing to enter our circle of joy

We talked through the night

Melting words

The words of life

 

Magic smoked us until the dawn

Two piles of ash.

 

Smoke twisted around the morning breeze

And took us away over a loch

Still talking 

Words dropping through the mist 

Pebbles dissolving in water.

 

We?

Dispersed with the breeze.
