>I said, this is the best banana I�ve ever had,

>I savoured it. Mashed every bite between

>Quickened my pace in spite of the heat.

>Winter bore down heavily then,
>and the chill settled in deep and permanent.
>Snowploughs scraped at night against
>a Charlotte Bronte backdrop of stars
>that ached like teardrops frozen on velvet.
>The kettle screamed frantic cups of green tea.
>Warm, full and safe, for a time.

>The world faded into a whiteness that defied
>the efforts of snowploughs.
>Tea could not thaw this frost.
>The people even were white, their
>coats and shoes like a TV show or a dream.
>I don�t need your angel-warmth,
>I�ll just wait for the spring.

>My eyes seek horizons like a hunger, view
>blocked by cage of bones
>and tears.
>It is June.
