about a trip i had


Celestial City

There are moonbeams in my coffee
When I wake up and look at you
Fragile, strong, protecting what you can't know.

Ferries, spray of river cooling
The fire in my forehead
Marks of a night in paradise

Streets to recognise
Pavements to walk along
In a convoy parading

Through somewhere not that different
I could get used to this.
The serenity, the warmth, the away

Organisational competence
A world opening up
Every time I leave the building

Lights would linger along that bay
Man-made coast
With beauty surrounding

Transporting to places imagined
Yet not seen
Feared, yet joyfully received

Beds unmade
Breakfast yet to come to fruition
Fan buzzing overhead
Juxtaposition of space
