85


the past reduced to spicy paste
you squirt around the mouth while reading
teach yourself tantric gurning      the ballet
set to notes of light with singles
doubles twitching through the HD pin
pricks on black packs of pilchard
flavoured crisps & shapely schooners
of recycled cider plunge to hours
adjusting wire &  fake cargo      beep
ballast helps the craft float to her lines
before nights of phosphorescent wake
