Kristen de Kline #206 whose blood is this

+
where is the sky
are you crazy
who let the dogs out
whose blood is this

+
you hear them talking
down at Lakeside:
they're all
still breathing
the girl,
who set herself
on fire,
she's made it
through
the night

+
he bangs on your wall
Josef, with his feet
calling out
something
about God and 'Nam
doing lines with Courtney Love
being spat on at a Sex Pistols gig
is he laughing now
or crying
nobody
knows

+
the next morning
the Uber driver
takes off in the wrong direction
you're left standing
on the tag:
YOUNG & DUM
looking
for the sky
dabbing blood up
with a soggy Kleenex
listening to
pins   
drop
bombs   
fall
one
by
one

  1. whose blood this is
    I think I know
    his home is nowhere
    anyway he is gone
    he won't see me stopping here
    in an alley way
    on a dark evening
    between go and woe
    there's definitely been a mistake
    it is not lovely
    but I have promises to keep
