Bad Belly

bad belly

The thorns for the rose,
soil hands for oily lips,
tears for the picture in the 
secret wallet:
chokes,lips drip vinegar:"am i responsible?
"how do you know"?"it cant be". 

The clouds beneath the sky,
sunshine through trees(the shrubs suffer loss):long 
blonde hair of snow white
,obstructing rays of a woman and child. 


Abyss darkness,he drives his car on the freeway
thinking what to explain. 
he reaches a traffic halt,
empty world,deep sea, 
the devil. 
the moon shines so he sees it all:

The ring hidden in his mouth when he said,"seem i have met you before"?"i am 
single- hmm  divorced"
and  then one hotel,one bed, one night,
trouser and skirt on the floor.
