Words on Robson
Poetry Contest Winner: Diana Tucker
Assignation: Stanley Park
When I arrived, your whole body
was stretched out in the indigo water, sunset
sliding down your darkening stomach.
The longer we stayed, the more of your jewellery
you pulled out and hung in the air around us.
Your body you left naked of these small lights,
knowing the pull of your negative space
as the sky blackened from right to left, the last light
diving to its incremental death beneath your feet.
So you pulled the cold in over both of us,
a blanket under which our breath became visible:
mine a pearly, momentary mist; yours the bridge,
the trees' jagged tips, the light-gashed water.
