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
