Long Listed for the 2023 Griffin Poetry Awards
Woman in Blue
One woman stopped at the entrance of the cafe.
She wasn’t waiting for anyone. No one waited for her.
Why did she stop there? Who was she? Perhaps
an old forgotten singer or a woman of a certain age
and of a different era who had lost her way.
No one ever found out.
And as it started to get dark, nothing remained
in the world but sorrow, the night, loneliness and
this need to somehow make it in our dark life.
