whirling down the drain.
skinning shins and words to maim.
let go of the bone.
mantrum
loud voices cursing.
thumping and beating of chest.
beast from in the man.
torch it
the world wet and sad.
covered cold with white blanket.
take a torch to it.
quivering quavers
the tap tapping drums.
the rising melody’s hook.
quivering quavers.
wobble topple
dirty dusk of sky.
where you skulking off to now?
wobbling as you go.
cruci fixus
cap in hand for help.
catching life’s frail butterflies.
my arms pinned to board.
