The Pins on the wire hum the song she used to sing
winding up the grinding tune as I row my way in tarmac
with hospitals in the road cracks.
My incubator was a pot hole and I'm slipping between the paving.
;We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free;
The white-palmed boat plumes fish through the wind
hand in hand towards the doctor
with the tests like lobster hands
and weighing scales like gemini twins,
me and my anti climax dancing together
on the air he wastes.
Under the street lamps my lips purse
the moon shadows curving limbs into the stars
and the anchor pulling me into the drainpipes
is that I will never be thin on the inside.
My coin throw wishes I could fall right with it
Drowning in the wishing well
as sugar surfs the ocean wave
foaming like epilepsy,
secreting salt and tired limbs, smashed into the sand.
But I must walk onwards to the velvet noose ropes
of restrictive tests and medicine cabinet magnetic sacks
I wish I could faintly sing
;I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say;
