Impromptus.



I like the wall crowded
humid Sydney streets
locket of prettyeyed lights
- the light dulls, the night
illumines.

the clock tocking
gnaws my time like a parrot.
Polly want an oil well?
this cracker only mirrors my question.

I wake up with thirst
thirst that drinks me like a
whale, that throws me up
and beaches me, that seizes
even hunger.

a war within the skin
cells – impossible to move forward
or to hopscotch back, you linger
beneath suspicious hallway portraits.

smoke these cigarettes in remembrance
of you, o fragile membrane body.
on the stutter of confusion, nerve endings
confuse themselves like Adam meets Eve
how could we be the only ones on earth?

lonely and busy with it too,
laughed when you asked me to change.
Mozart’s requiem plays on
cheap headphones – a quiet pulse
I push my finger into.

tomorrow I go to Eden,
six hour drive, I’m skipping
class – Hooray.
