Breaks

So, here is our moment, frozen\nWe’ve seen our seven unmoving in their lonely homes\nIt’s been 4:18\nAnd dawn’s still hours off yet\nMy God, and they are cold and listless\nNot quite sure that they exist\nHere, in this moment, slow and viscous\nLips haunted by the ghosts of kisses\nThere is the endless saturation of the days, and here they are\nThere is nothing moving but their breath\nBut watch now\nAs the breaking storm outside brings this moment into action\nThe sky cracks into a wild mouthed grin\nAnd unleashes all the water that it’s carried\nVapour grown heavy from every distant puddle\nEvery lapping wave tip, every churning river\nContributing to this rain\nNow Pete on his doorstep, he looks up, mouth agape\nAnd he drops his key in shock, and laughs a howling, ancient laugh\nThel ightning charges through them\nRips the sky, and startles every roof in stark relief\nAnd they see their city new\nEsther hears herself shout a strange bark into the silence of her kitchen\nGemma sits bolt upright in bed, wide eyed\nAnd she stares at the rain as it smashes itself against her windows\nZoe puts her boxes down\nBradley reaches for his dressing gown\nNow, see it from above\nSeven doors to seven flats open at the same time\nAnd light the raining pavement\nSeven broken hearts, seven empty faces are heading out of doors\nHere’s our seven perfect strangers\nAnd they see each other\nStrangely dressed, one shoe, and one slipper, socks falling off, smiling\nGathering slowly, tentatively in the middle of the road, shielding their eyes\nat first\nBut then tipping their necks back, unhunching their shoulders\nOpening their bodies up to the storm\nAnd their hair is flattened against their heads\nOr puffed up madly outwards\nAnd their hands slip off their chins and cheeks\nAs they clutch their faces, open mouthed\n«Amazing!"They shout\n«We've seen it!"They shout\nAs they walk like children\nInto the eye of a game and band close, close, shocked, and laughing\nSoaked to the skin
