About the book

You’re Covered in Sand, You Must Shake it Out

You’re covered in sand, you must shake it out
of your hair and your shoes, the film on your eyelids
will last till the shower that’ll change lots of things
(even those pockets all filled up with stones,

because darkness loves you), so let’s get some pebbles
to warm in our hands and put snug in the stroller,
they’ll keep nice and warm there, they’ll never get wet,

after the shower we’ll go look for swallows
out on the terrace, we’ll crumble some biscuits, a roll,
if we hide ourselves well they’re sure to come flying
in the course of the months (from a city under eyelids)

Two generations
of leaves
have died
before my eyes.
