paint the walls
  with mouthfuls of dirt
picnic blanket over
old wounds
 tired and frail
calloused and hardened

one, two,
spill the guts and chew the fat
expand out
drip down
  an infinity edges empty boundary
  horizontal tears
  fracture and falter

fill the walls
with embroided words,
   (the hail still stings
    against severed limbs)

expand out
 graft over holes,
 tear harrowed folds

one, two,
weightless
a canvas of flesh
  lighter
      fluid and ash

expand out
   float down to the rivers end
     go with the flow
         loose yourself
         among empty surfaces;
                                                           eventually
all the leaves in the gutter
coagulate
 and homogenise
to mulch
