Étoiles

As the day sinks,
look at the sky
- the evening paled and faded -
between peoples’ shoulders;
make the whirling world stand still.

The stars are a free show
golden-chained
where no sun shines.

Resign:
The times are strange enough.
Live:
life, London, this moment in June;
live happily ever after on Charlotte Street,
deliciously aged, and sad.
