HI
I
i
Noddy
always agrees
with himself
and he’s alright
right too
tell you what
he needs to hear
listening
like
a blind
horse
runs after
a beating
anyone knows
he goes
no such thing as
the road rules mate
ok then stay awake
all the way
‘till dawn
falls down
drinking
like
smoking
like
you’re about
to get on
a train
white
guy
on the side
of good
hey?
Just Now
i was painting the ceiling with memories
****
he brings the black queen close
to overthrow her
****
another lone bird
teaching me how to breathe
****
her eyes asked “have we said enough?”
****
sometimes the child gets between our lips
****
i was watching the clock
when it stopped
****
someone remembered they had forgotten how it felt
pulling the knife out
****
falling
i pass through my cry
and am free
****
i wrote another line
i’ll never hide
****
Poem to be Lived Backwards
walking
on a road
i find
myself
again
then
knowing
that
all
and
nothing
is
truth
this
as
radical
as
nowhere
i
am
lost
but
still
standing
then
again
myself
i find
on a road
walking
