Poetry by Juliette Sebock

When so much is left undone

after "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something


I'm transported 60 years

in the length of a heartbeat

with the opening chords and I remember us,

coupled at Empire State

in the good old days,

snapping golden-age photos

in the diamonds' glistenings.

I'm back in the grass

of strawberry fields

and I realise the magic

of those moments

where you'd follow me

with a Google Map

leading us to bad decisions

and well-dressed Irish pirates

I find myself missing

songbird city tours

and daydreaming

of a future with you

and I

before the world,

our lives,

our loves,

left us with only songs

and horror movies

to remember us by.
