come to me
middle of the day
afternoons
night times
that little space
side of the road
halfway up
a brown mountain
camping out of the way
hearing the goat bells
& always but always
a dog in the distance
hearing something snuffling
around us outside
just before the dawn
then that local café
full of talkers
wanting to know why
we’d stopped
in their backwater town
telling us tales their lives
before we moved on again
these places
come in to my mind
like those times
I think of you
then go again
