oh, oh, I /
you head away /
sun over today /
three, three, threes /
its way into mere /
never needed much /
‘cept imperial weight /
handed me down /
though rarely touched /
that is inherit /
muck over /
past battles ironed out /
with holidays careful /
scissors in pocket run /
away til sewn shut /
mouth or hole same /
face lifts the mirror silver /
drains the sewer out /
until it shines blind /
still see silver on wrists /
ankles thinnest bits of body /
grabbing ground earth /
1600 kilometres too slow /
we are here here heRE hERE HERE /
a thumb on the tongue /
it was always an idea that undid him /
better to remember /
the next mother /
death be an amusement park /
painted face wiped away /
after 6pm /
long lines for the dark mouth /
blood in the rainbow /
drying a thinner shade /
cracking the blessed arc
