The Wakefield Trinity


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

Sunday morning,
on a hill.
With a friend.
Once a lover.

The wind bites,
and the mud larks,
at our boots.

I am quiet.
My head,
in someone's bed.
Far away from here.

It begins to sleet.
My eyes sting.
Heartbeat missed.
A friend laughs.

And I start to cry.
