Tracy

Christmas fills the road as a graveyard,
Forgotten was its gone-rancid repertoire
Wilted on the lawn, I see Tracy
Toppled from her throne completely
I step over her body as i leave for work;
I step over her body when I come home
Her calls to me are rustles in the wind's blow
I can't hear as i watch her from my window
Nobody is coming for Tracy.
We'll let her rot.
We've finished but she doesn't yet know.
As poachers. we only want the tusks
Not what comes with them.
Tracy used to have a few friends they'd talk over the fence about their holidays
They'd try to catch the eye of heaven's truck
It's stopped coming now, Tracy never got picked up
This February snow's a quilt of irony
But she's happy in this coat and turns to smile at me
She remembers her old clothes and fancy jewellery
Then wonders why she's so cold
And turns away from me.
Tracy I don't know if I can help you
Tracy's just a little lost

Anorak

I was fine;
I had habituated to this defeat.
But it seems there's not a finite
Amount of your additional deceits.
Of course I heard your cries
But you don't get to give a fuck
Your screams add only to the cacophony of my bad luck
Although we might smile,
There's nothing funny about this.
It was the crack in the cobweb we forgot to police;
it was the insect that brought the ageing widow to it's knees
It decays in its cocoon of binding web, worn like an anorak
We could try and cut it free but we would never get that time back.
Although we might smile,
There's nothing funny about this.

Blank Dreams

I'm blowing bubbles in rationed water now,
As gormless an adornment as the plastic straw at my mouth.
I'm as scarce a resource as I'm ever likely to be,
I'm telling you secrets so that you can remind me.
You'd never let me go so I'd have to sneak.
It's easiest to hope we'll find all we need.
I love you but sometimes I want to leave.
Ascertaining if these blank dreams are just clouds of doubt
