〈we〉

Let’s start

Oh let’s start

With A for A bc

With B for a B c

With C for ab C and

We stop.



Let’s start with

A fire, with two stones

Rubbing, kissing, loving,

Hating, hugging, and then

Walking away.

Then we stop.



With a fire we start

The light, we start the night,

We even start evil loneliness,

We walk, with shadows falling behind,

We run with heavy dirty breath,

We may sit down, around

Some fire. Then we stop.



We catch birds, flying

With nothing to prove, with

No hope oh no hope at all

With no jeep running over

The land we used to walk.

we walk With our bare feet.



We hunt for hopes, but they

are snowflakes by the fire, melting

into water drops

transparent, wet, and sad.

We bite hard, but nothing, we

Swallow a mouthful of air.



And we taste like salty flesh, smell like

Rusted iron, unpolished diamonds,

Wasted plastic bottles, a lonely

half of the scissors.



No spring, no winter, no summer,

And we fall. We shall fall

Like apples edible

From trees, to the core of the earth,

To the rotten and broken heart.

From early morning first breath of cold air

From shady light among woods,

From unwritten letter, from unsorted images

To the mice in the sewer

To the filthy corner of unseen nightmare

To one big bang

We had on the bed.



how sweet it is to be loved by you.
