blue like a loose carrier bag
blue like rainfall
you feel that
tight tangle
suddenly blooming bruise
inside your xylophone
a common taste
but a different language
mi dispiace, non parlo italiano
wish I knew you
wish my single syllable
was your drink of choice
blue like cracked ice
blue like brushing teeth
reach into the vegetable soup
of your mind
here! a paragraph
made from colourful buttons
and not so sticky tape
mon français n'est pas très bon
wet hair and brown eyes
will satisfy me nicely
or brown eyes and wet hair
miles and minutes
and seconds
and seconds
disculpe
and seconds
är detta rätt?
nicotine no thanks
silence will **** you
decay the veins
blue like so-called heartbreak
blue like too much space
and seconds

Written: September 2017.
Explanation: A poem written in my own time. Quite happy with it. Feedback welcome. The foreign phrases are: 'sorry, I do not speak Italian' (Italian), 'my french is not very good' (French), 'excuse me' (Spanish) and 'is this right?' (Swedish). A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
NOTE: Many of my older pieces will be removed from HP at some point in the future.
