i’ve been a good reflector
for so long
your goals
became mine
but now
i’m adrift
on a pointless sea
of hot air and promises
i blame myself
for maintaining proximity
long beyond
anything considered reasonable
but i suspect
you’ll never understand
the effect it’s had
upon my soul
the weeping rages
i find myself in
nor the nights i shake
in bed
unable to find rest. »
my last few visits
to this town
always involved seeing
car parks at night
from afar
micro-cities of light
as the city darkened
around it.
I still haven’t quite grasped
the fascination with
corrugated concrete
though. »
the height of this
new-fangled bus seat
perfectly aligns my eyes
with a thick black
window frame
i can only see
up to the heavens
or down
to the passing wheels
and asphalt. »
walk down another street
take the train
not
the tram
leave the music at home
my mind hums
little frequencies
this morning
it’s amazing
what a good night’s sleep
can do for you. »
i’m ever conscious
of timing
one can’t do everything
at once.
my mind itches
but we have another
particular
project to scratch
before I can act. »
