Park and Go

Drunk

we walked away from the crowd

fingers already intertwined

to make a cradle

like fishing boats

hanging to dry

on the water of the canal.

Searching for a compass

to give the heart a center

one single word that would lose us

in the eye of the storm.

And while you told me not to drink

I discovered myself liquid.

I laughed and filled myself with your song.

The handle of your trolley is broken

I fix it in my dreams

and slow down the clock.

(And just) not to see you go

I rewind time.
