Sky diving on the table

Like a swooping peregrine

Kidnapped and held between the jackals

            and vultures at his side

 

Trying to grow up, I lost my

            youth… I left it on the

sun-dappled wall

 

I watched the tail-lights of

a ghost ship on Godwin Sands

The cacophony of the engagement party

My heart sank like a rock

 

A single sex toilet stands on the edge

of Goodwin Sands ready to welcome

the ghosts of many wrecks.

 

The list of death crack goes the neck

12 secs goes so quick

Defenestration

            and Albert’s drop

3 seconds one, the other 12.

 

On the bus to nowhere, to only then

leave her bag of hope, for lost property

 

HANG ON – I NEED TO SPEND A PENNY!

 

Slush puppies dissolving into

the mists of time

 

Clinging onto the train window trying

to avoid paying for a ticket from

London to Piccadilly, the insect falls

off at Birmingham exhausted and

lands in a coffee
