peeling the skin off daily /
it’s more of a way to /
force the world to /
wait at the door shuffling /
pre-emptive pain /
painting the room in a neutered colour /
gravel grey /
perhaps some sparkles /
standing in the eaves now /
after summer failed /
to ignite /
all smoke, no plot /
to see us through the aisle /
sometimes the pain is calming /
a low hum spreading the body /
over the floor /
a hammer as a musical instrument /
pressing unlikes into a faint melody /
only millimetres above ground /
dissolving feet into /
prehistoric glitter /
that started the first fires /
terror and awe on a late /
paleolithic Sunday afternoon /
how how do we make this world now /
from the nothing so many have?
