I Love Those Mars Bar Nights
I love those Mars bar nights
were the smudged blues and darkened greys
hug toothless houses
noises clatter through the silence
looking to be heard
Silhouettes drag themselves towards the dark
wind takes a rest against skin
Chill slithers past shoulders
and dances on spine
Frozen on the outside
colder inside
Cigarette sun
trapped between finger and thumb
Amber tints flourish
on head betrayed by gravity
Sigh song belongs to me
tears wipe away the tears
memories stored on a memory stick
my charger does not fit
Caught between the step and the drop
