Explore
Take out your brain and
Wash it with sand
Leave it to dry in the sun
Explore someone else’s
Achievements and hopes
Swallow the end of a gun
Go on a journey if
Life is a lie, and soar above
Nothing at all
Crouch beneath bridges
That cross over fields
And end in the urban sprawl.
Dance in a bar made of
Concrete and bone
Foot-stumps leaving their trail
Blood on the windowsill
Paw-prints in scarlet
Heart at the end of the scale
Broken-glass recipes
Mangled and worn
Sprinkled inside your head
The dark isn’t dark and the
City still beats as you
Slither into your bed.
