I heard the whisper of subtle wings ...

The Simple Men played after midnight -

We'd counted the homeless in the windswept precincts - 

We'd glimpsed the dark sea and the white moon -

We'd talked about Lorca in The Bodrum - 

Now we danced to a cover of All Right Now - 

Lou smiled her flinty smile - 

I felt the New Year brush against my face - 

I heard the whisper of its subtle wings -
