sun splays the sky apart : all its
dreams and gleams of millennial gloom
are all sparkling new . conceptualised :
i act on —
a bumped elbow thought
patted knee pensée which ricochets
in my waterlogged brain . . .
the pearled white of bare bones
seems to glimmer through the tiles
and i remember the colour of chaos
pooling in my navel —
there is something sinking into my mouth ;
something lapping at my lips
like my tongue brims with it
( all ways ) mother's breast is radiation burnt ,
daddy's chest to be splayed open
( some day ) with the ruby insides
inside out — it is your heart you know :
for i wish someone would carry me
in their heart : blood thin as aspirin
     — i cannot find the words —
the willow tree in the apple orchard
with its aching arms spread wide open
to touch the grassy floor . i must
find the words to relieve it ; thighs
opened wide . something is not right .
i try to remove it let it go free
ly my melancholia my paraphernalia
the white lights are just too bright

i try to remove it let it go free ly my melancholia my paraphernalia the white lights are just too bright
