Relationships 18 04/01/07 The telephone shatters the night’s dark glass. I’m suddenly awake in the new year air And in the moment it takes a life to pass From waking to sleeping I feel you there. 5 My brother’s voice that sounds like mine Gives me the news I already knew. Outside a milk fl oat clinks and shines And a lit plane drones in the night’s dark blue, And I feel the tears slap my torn face; 10 The light clicks on. I rub my eyes. I’m trapped inside that empty space You fl oat in when your mother dies. Feeling that the story ends just here, The stream dried up, the smashed glass clear. Ian McMillan
