The Visitor<br />
Matt Duggan<br />
Come lay with me in the hayfields<br />
among circles in yellow and stone,<br />
stare at a sky with bright stars<br />
like toasted crumbs on blue gingham,<br />
we hide from the opening of rooms<br />
the secrets disguised as lies;<br />
undress the pretty heart inside<br />
may the visitor never catch us.<br />
Come lay with me in the hayfields<br />
where the sun meets the day,<br />
catch the dew dropping from mouths in spring<br />
tasting the stolen fruit that lay beside me,<br />
a love exhumed from an assassin’s sight<br />
where nightingales whispered songs to the dead.<br />
We were lost in each other’s limbs<br />
hidden from the man with the favoured snout.
