Sip

Name the request to move away from the sun
the black pen, the final warning,
the destitute silence,
our position in life.
Name the sky without birds,
the black dragonflies,
a single spider in the bath.
Name the male voice 
and a whisper,
Lucy's tanned shoulders
and her flowery dresses.
Name a tower block,
a windowsill, a broken nose
a waterfall, a dandelion,  a
a trick, a hungover
your escape, musical chairs
a kiss, a sofa 
your soft, warm breath
below my waist.
Name it.
