Haven
I have sucked myself right in
all the way to heavenly
bombastic right to where everything that once was still is
I got every little thing threw
it in the air what smashed
fell broken shards
swept into mosaic swirls the
clean
light off what stayed whole is just enough
to read by
mucles ache from letting go just
as much as holding back
the din of horror takes a little while to
soap
away tinnitus it stinks the mind with hellcats fiends the
fears
not broken simply bending I have sucked myself right in
Shying, Kelen, Walton, Schackne, Keily & Davis

DeleteI used to write the strippergrams in Perth you know Robbie! I only write if the punters are nude.
DeleteI love all of this Kerri but most of all the line ' the din of horror takes a little while to soap'
ReplyDeleteI love the tension between the sucking myself right in repetition and the throwing the every little thing into the air with the breaking and the 'shards swept into mosaic swirls' - fabulous line!
ReplyDeletev powerful
ReplyDeleteI think heavenly bombastic would be a great band name
or a new fashion label
or a title for a novel
or an ironic retro radio/sportscar/ political party
Ah, now that's getting to the core of things
