SILENT GARDEN NIGHTS


wait for small green apples
to fall out of the tree
and
bounce and be still on patchy
brown
lawn

8 pm - hot
air is still and muggy
reminds me of warm beer/of funerals

walk to the shop for ice cream
warm cig smoke drifts slow
from 
wound-down hatchback window

off licence lights murmur and shine
the busy bottle shelves
flash me back 
to 
the 
wild heart of drunkness

but now
i'm only waiting
for green apples
to
fall
on a brown lawn
