24 Hours

{for Julia and Carissa...

Together

as life sweeps in and shows us quick glimpses of other worlds that

simultaneously exist along side our own

yet prove to be 

  one in the same, while clearly kept separate. 

Here's to crossing borders together,

both in the past, 

and in years to come...

love you both <3

a word sketch

24 hours

Road toll

Giant Deja Vu Girls light the way

And again, road toll

Train peeks through misty curtains,

          sweeping past silhouetted trees through to morning

Road toll

Train shines noisily overhead;

          sparkling in, and weaving through a windy skyline

Girls upside down, holding their own hands

Colourful doll staring into the window seeing better versions of her vibrant self behind the glass

Optical illusion

Black coffee under the golden arches

24 hours

Spare a minute?

Doorman, street cleaner, car drivers, smiling -

          different in type to the boy shot dead while

                    singing his heart out...

                              yet, they are singing the same song

Spare a prayer?

Heels to work shoes, 

          both worn wonderfully well

Crackling radio on her shoulder,

          come to momma.

Sweeping the street

Spare a coin?

Laugh

God bless, God bless you, Boy.
