Read the poem “In The Summer Twilight”
IN THE SUMMER TWILIGHT
In the summer twilight That’s where I wanna stay Walking at night Along the side streets Trees whispering my name
A litter of bad ideas And a litre of rum This is my new summer Now that the good times have gone
Somebody must have dreamed you up A satin wish on the spinning world Give me a reason to leave Be rescued within your twirl
She was a silent era piano player I’d always sit in the right side aisle Head tilted up to the bronze coloured tiles Eyes closed Gliding on the trickles
