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
ReplyDeletewhose 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
The nowhere man - & oh so many promises to keep. Love it!
