_THIS OLD TOWN SMH...


he’d never seen a happier face 

than the one drawn in the dirt on the back of her car

wash him of his sins


_smoke filled tears of the whiplash splash on the dash

in the back, belongings from a past life laughing 

dusk light drumming on her windscreen 

_poor life of a siren unbaptised


_a fork unfolds on the roadside 

and he is a weird centralised pillar of pain and misunderstanding

barely


_spinning out, sat on his backside

emanating nothing but bad vibes

dope boy stuck in a chokehold


____the cards he were dealt were decent

but he didn’t know how to go all in

scared of the wider world’s workings, spinning


grinning


dosed up, so smoked out - oblivion

way less than a person

still the king of this village and her heart, mind


temporarily


_tempranillo from his mother’s cupboard has him faded

that’s why he didn’t reply for ages

____reading her diary during her day shifts

he just couldn’t stop turning the pages
