1.
Lay here,
lie awake.
Listen to
the wind.
No signal.
Fingertips,
through hair...
Asleep

2.
Eyes looking
at each other's.
A door closes
in the wind.
Unexplained,
question
exclamation
Anthem,
bruised.
Single words,
repeated...
Alone.

3.
Reverse
repeated.
Single words,
bruised
anthem
unexplained
exclamation
in the wind.
Fog horn sounds.
In the wind,
a door closes
eyes looking
into each others.
Asleep,
fingertips
stroke hair,
gently.
No signal,
lie awake,
lie here.
