Splinterman.
It was the main thing on my mind
the smell the bread and butter pudding
burning
and the last thing too while I have this
one hand tied to the bed-frame
thinking how they always wait
men, don’t they
wait for the most stupid moment
to tell you things
like she broke her own arm to stop me
leaving her
he is saying it now
seated naked on my foot - that he was 33
when he met her - she at 16
was the angriest person he had ever seen
“She had on long leather boots
and she gave me gonorrhea” so he loved her
furiously – it made me think
it made me think
splintering
the one - cooking dessert
the one fingers creeping
little spiders to the phone
keeping up my end of the conversation
yet
all the me’s are waiting
for the smoke alarm
to scream blue murder
and rocking fear to sleep
Such a nightmare
