Out of Bounds
Soft assurance, pavement lullabies round our days—we blink through streaked panes, dark forms rise like lifeboats,
red boots stammer on the pavement. Which detail arrests you? Each dawn casts that part of us we don’t know well to warm the seat beside us. What matters shifts, and shifts again.

Out of Bounds

Soft assurance, pavement lullabies
round our days—we blink through streaked
panes, dark forms rise like lifeboats,
red boots stammer on the pavement.

Which detail arrests you?

Each dawn casts
that part of us we don’t know well
to warm the seat beside us.
What matters shifts, and shifts again.

Kim Hamilton
