i smile and pass by
Your lies
sharp as knives.
You harm my heart.
My smile is past.
Your lies
sharp as knives
I drink pain
glass after glass
trying to escape
your eyes
sharp as knives.
I smile and pass by
The record says
again and again
trapped
in the same cruel scratch.
"Your love entering my bloodstream like a slow poison," Dónall Dempsey

- talk trails into tattered scraps
- reminded of the beauty of gesture
- like honey in the trees
- even the buildings
- until all that remains
- such a pitch of tedium
- moving cross the borders
- air smelled of burned rubber and melted wires
- somehow lurking behind this absence
- no one hears his own remarks as prose
