I’m chasing thrills, me
Sparking backlit glimpses of fluttering birds
In my ribcage
Watching vibrations flood through me
Frissons as splintered, layered beats pass through
A’s and E’s
My body is a rollercoaster and I’m
Reaching out to catch my heart, with glee
As we hit the drop
I stretch and arch back from the stern of a boat
I’m a rudder in soft water
Waiting, waiting for the bass to come in.
I could swim like mercury.
Thousands of tiny finger symbols
Chime a labyrinthine symphony.
It’s a line of bitter coke
Pulsating me. The clarity I get when a pill has
Overtaken me.
I want to dissolve like alabaster turned to chalk.
Like a perfect faint. Someone breaking my fall.
Like freedom.
A stranger blowing on the back of my neck and
A shudder and surrender to the speakers.
Arms thrown up opening a big Y.
The first toke on a spliff that tastes of sherbet.
The roach is never dead, my friend.
Let’s lie in a T with your head on my belly.
Tequila shots: the tip of my tongue
Hand web dusted with salt.
Shaking off old ropes like a dog shaking off water.
Mud between my toes.
I want to loose myself in a dance tent.
Chock full of magnanimity.
I want oceans
I want a crush, I want to…
I want whisky lips
I’m gonna leave this place and never use shoes again.
I am holding hands with everyone and walking into infinity.
