lying awake at sixlistening to the dawn chorus
slept through both alarms

I'll never forget
the way she looked at me
as she fell from the overhang
a look of betrayal
loss
astonishment
despair.
I'm haunted by it still
though it's a better image
than when I saw her next
after she'd smashed her face
on the rocks below.
