Lungs clagged outside
sucked smoke
blown out as amulets
excremental air
Yellow sacs are full
with people weights
a breather
unseen caking
secret stalagmites
Fishes in blood are blind
His bloated neck in heat
a fat key jangle
sleeping tache where
the windowless eyes
Us against poverty romance or
fucked and ready dignity
Meandering in and out
of stupid garden
Her with jewelled eyes
and then bleak eyes and then
jewelled again
her heart her hate aflutter
her hurt her
hysterical hair map
Medical witnessing
at a chatter pace
Decay-stained valentine, curled
where the plumbing
Please
wash
your
hands
"We don't go
to the disco"
And the dank old
in the cold old
Brythonic dropped clouds
From the back window, The Shadows:
"Wonderful Land"
We're on the same page, about the disco!
ReplyDeleteIt all comes back... the draining of the polders...
catch a wave!
"The music must always play;
ReplyDeleteLest we know where we are:
Lost in a haunted wood -
Children afraid of the dark
Who have never been happy or good"
I'm in no way having a pop at Hank and the boys, mind.
ReplyDeleteThe Shadow knows this is a sound poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erebus.
