Blue A4 in the drawer

Under socks and a bent-up comb

Folded once at Swanston door

I left your name in my Carlton home

Ink dried stiff by the caravan park

Three cups stacked by the sink

I read it once after dark

Then I fed it back to the link

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Your name won’t move me now

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

I shut that chipboard down

Rain on the laundry room pane

Biro bleed on the kitchen tile

Your postbox note sat two weeks in the rain

I never found the nerve, just a crumpled smile

Eighteen minutes past six

By the tram stop, cold and bare

I heard your boots on the bricks

But you were never there

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Your name won’t move me now

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

I shut that chipboard down

Now the drawer sticks on the rail

Paint flakes off the pine

I pull it hard, it groans and squeals

And there’s your words in a tidy line

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Your name won’t move me now

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

I shut that chipboard down
