Click here to hear the poet read his words:

rootless

if
I didn’t
have you
I’d just
float away
I’d drift
with nothing
no anchor
to hold me
here
or anywhere

so
everything
I have done
has brought me
to now
when
I realise
that
our first encounter
was
the most important
moment
of
my life

it was
on
a beach
or
in
a bar
or
maybe
at
an airport
I think
but
I don’t
remember
I
can’t
remember
which
of these
is true

I
am
drifting
rootless
