I close my eyes and let me self go,
I drift away with smoke of my cigarette,
Drifting high into the sky,
With the clouds and birds,
I see everything,
See the couples fighting and kissing,
Seeing the child run away from its mum,
To the girl in tears in her mothers arms,
I close my eyes to escape but on get closer to the problem.

There is no escape.

A feeling so void of anything it's hard to explaine it,
A feeling that catches you at any moment even when you know where you are,
It's not the phiscal sensation,
It's the mental taxation,
Where am I going,
How did I get here,
Where are you,
Why have you gone.

Lost
It's been over a year since I lost her and even now I rember her for all she is and was, lost without.

You won't remember
Howevermany years on,
what she was wearing.

So Jo
my jaw aches.

it comes out only at night
a gripping, torn dragging
                            and slowly splintering teeth
        my dentist tells me I've been at it again
        awareness month announced through a 3 ply mask.

it comes out at night only.
when my hand has swum down your riverbed spine
        I count each smooth stone
        try to forget the explosions beneath
        seam mining, undermining everything we create?

        at night my jaw aches.

by day I smile too much
collecting girls' numbers like sea-tossed glass
       once all dangerous cutting edges, now pocketable
       forgettable -
                    I don’t want to run.

        and so our monster under the bed
(the scans show this)
        burns its fires through your head

while mine growls through troubled teeth

       and I ache.

So Jo
an idea laid on white
stretches once taut and breathless
brief rule-bound plaything
