how to do a handstand

what every human seeks

is a handstand teacher

someone to tell you 

squeeze your bum cheeks

our connection is

deeper than I thought

I was surprised how

hard you fought

to hold my hand

even over the phone

when I was scared 

and alone

it's lucky we take it 

in turns to cry

two orbiting stars

up in the sky

I am water

always flowing

somewhere going

sometimes knowing

Helenberg station

I missed you this morning

at Heidelberg station

it was sunny and cold

remember our conversation?

we sat in the car 

to stay out of the breeze

chatting about the world

words flowing with ease

you cared for me

and I cared for you

time was short but 

there was no hurry too

guess I'll meet you at Sandy Point

I'll know you'll be there

I love you like my mum

goodbye and take care

for Helen Jordan
