Desires of a Vacuum Heart
23/08/2017
Lemuel R.Griffiths
'The vacuum Heart'.
Green car rolling..,
Down my one way street,
My ex neighbour..,
Tinted screen..,
Though one can just see through..,
To he.., and the girl -
She's an Ex, too.ha., some belle.
A'leaning from a first floor view o' the world..,
Feeding pigeons.., gutter bread,
The gulls 'pon the drive -
A frenzy., with that wing clipping,
hungry for regime of sex and death and food without a start..,
Everyone getting all they desire..,
Desires of the vacuum heart.
He revs - angrily.,
Love diminishing with each and every pedal push,
Diminishes., as does his inherited loot.
So.., why's the driver angry.,
At her beseeching,
'Take this certain route?'
She looks up -
Eyes lock,
I continue the feed..,
The cooing, 'love and feed me' birds,
He revs - angrily.,
He's sensed her greed.
Two years of Fridays..,
And still this derailed, bingo route..,
Why look back.,
Why look back?
She killed me in a text,
So why give even one hoot.,
The gulls will leave soon -
Another winter looms.
