night walks confusion -
fog lays on lawn and resonates the sodium vapour glow
crystal dew sneaks and my toes freeze in the endless distance between rembrandt and Foucault
airfields, a future collapsed flyover in an ambassador taxi
bengali fog in the morning paddy fields a car ride home that I won’t forget your weight on my chest and the coconut smell of your pitch brown hair.
victoria’s columns row, dripping alocasia wilt in the courtyard
fog between northern cliffs we silently sat on the autumn train and you told me that I would leave
layers of people, a carousel of likeness
emotional response out of habit, no boundaries
masks and halos shine in the colourless pins of misty breeze
snake skin faces and fire crackers
laughter evaporates in polar clarity
a rock of lies, conscience like wax
the table has your coffee cup stains on it and I read the same books
black hills high empty buildings
viscous fog until the phoenix is numb bones from inside
highway yellow lights, pebble wash concrete cracks, a notion of flight
though it is the same hull that walks in circles along the cold steel rail
waiting for a forlorn call that came and didn’t pick up and then waiting for another one. signals code don’t want to read and my green eyes pierce into your naked gorge
the end of year you say
though the red and orange sand of the shore will just make my lips taste salty and thirsty
small glasses on a strand board sofa the dim brown light
dry jokes linger over spilled glitter on herringbone parquet the voice too harsh
errand of the night ends here in blatant alienation of hurried footsteps in the darkness
