my back hurts across my ribs today. it feels like they need to be broken open, like the chocolate of an easter egg. they should crack when i breathe out.
i hate the burning smell of buses sometimes.
i have ginger coming through the dark of my hair, cocoa powder orange.
willow wax leaves weep and writhe into rivers green, green, chartreuse.
is you is or aint you aint. gingerbread. pink smarties, dusty floors, broken glass, scars and then bruises. showerheads. cold water smell, peppers, salsa.
watch the leaves teeter in the evening and the cutlery draw in the sky shakes, the handle is pulled. the smell of cars interrupts the sinew roads like a black sick tongue and i match, we're painted the same. smell nothing on the skin of people, birds leaving wire, walk away from coloured festidious awenings, walk, walk away from ambulating oil suspended in silken puddles. walk. walk faster, walk in black and white with long hair, follow people on the streets, taste money from your city-blackened fingers, squeeze the rain from a tired shoelace, the bench is made from tarmac. hear the people and the cars yawn and dance in your ears, your tired ears, walk, walk, walk on and away, walk past trees, new leaves stained with the blood and mucus of autumn passed, wet grass emblazon your shoes, imagine the people's bones and joints as spinning paper plates, first soaked, drying and freezing, fissile and shattering, keep spinning keep spinning, black chartered wetness, ghosts loom over the percentages, cobbles, wolves and suits, walk, walk faster away from those instructing the songs playing forever and echoing from highrise buildings, from the straw and blue poppies, swirling under an enamoured ethereal sky that belongs in a photograph from above a gate when i was six. remember the colours of handkerchiefs, recall the rows of cigars in a shop window, the eyebrows of a shopclerk, walk, walk, walk away from teastains on reams of paper and grey buttons which line your brain amongst green nerves, crackling with raw and spitting in the haze of the rain, walk, walk, walk, and walk.
