Untitled
Number thirty one
What's the balance
between said and done?

31 people passed by
smiling, saved
on a photograph
and then suspended
in the chaos laugh

a one way ticket
to the archaeology
Pompeii rescues
sweeping over me

like a butterfly
but it's all too much
these crawling caterpillars
it's all too much

Maybe we just let them go
laughing out these jokes to the wind
and save a name if you like,
a name

if you like to laugh...
burn all of the photographs
warm up the inside
of your heart x
