i’ve been looking for clues
walking the streets
after dark
reveals another world
of off-coloured lights
and strange
mis-remembered memories
as i search the maps
small whorls appear
leading me in and out
of high-
and low-pressure zones
a rush of thoughts
and a passing train
rattles my head
in the morning
different shadows appear
cast in odd directions
a message from the ocean?
i can’t decipher this
not yet
