Bhami

Bhami
          Slow down take a run




Wobbly—?dribble?— dabble addled eye balls gawking at.. what is that? First encounter of the second kind

Clanging?—?clinging?—?cloistering—?changin colours in daytime
Running lights off on subway hell

Foil coil toil boil the beef stock until sober

Heat draws itself up?—from the toes?—to the feet?— up up in to— (glands bulge) your inner organs?—liver slowly dying?tangled?—?triangle?— shaped kidneys?—?tingling?—?ringing ears?—?wet hands burning

‘Hot in here, isn’t it’ I say to whoever is near

My partner in this crime of non reasoning

For a squeeze of lemon?— top of the class?— cherry pop given freely without rates

Norman Bates--  scary film!--rhymes with times--dimes--pines--grimes

Steinmann Gloria Gaynor born to be alive pal gal mal Quel?

Slattery lids opening wide with ferocity

Gutteral gluten?— free galloping for horses

Productive?—?creative?—?tired up in addled mind

Hole drilled into a cavity in the brain?—?chemicals floating around point blank?—?blood constricted to a ball of ice-peaked at Antarctica poles apart

Taking the time

Like the wind takes sheath from sword?—?points blank

Shooting fast?— slowing down

Run?— sun?— pun?—?drum for your life?—

Because there’s not much of it left after this

The End
