open window

We found the open window

to escape from and it was late;

the hem of my dress caught on the little nails

around the windowsill.

Your tie was undone as we both

dropped to the ground.

We woke the birds up

and all the feathers

came loose from their places.

We ran down the drive,

our champagne glasses were spilling;

it began to rain.

It was my birthday.
