Opaque room,
Heavy pillows,
Impending doom,
Marching bellows
-
Fluorescent light,
Indolent sight
Bedshaped tonight,
Feet like granite
-
Weak in stance,
Strong in structure,
Limping dance,
Across the breathing furniture
-
Threading pulses,
A heart that races,
Mouth slightly parted
Like lions in cages
-
What is this –
A lonely carouse,
A millionth star-kiss,
Lips sealed and bruised
-
The dreams are wrong,
For the tide changes,
Perhaps I am strong,
In all the broken places.
