Week 37: leaving the party

8.
consciousness withdraws
all aimless motion ceases
silence at basecamp

9.
leg muscles relax
names of the uncountable
distant murmuring

10.
thorax motionless
all of the boys who ran home
half-forgotten now

11.
unfocused ardour
the chasing and the catching
up the hill and down

12
brittle wafer skin
the museum is empty
outside the garden

13.
pale vapours harden
the moon is over the path
flowers are ready

14.
mouth loose and playful
remembering the taxi
the journey soon comes
