A Drip-Dry Memory

...Your hands linger now as prints upon my mind.
I became a glove for your love.

I gave you my tongue
so you could speak a moment of ecstasy.

You gave me Cauliflower Cheese,

A Dew Drooping Dawn

...A reluctant dawn
predicts a heel dragging day.

The sun slinks away from the sky
with dawn cast eyes.

Pond ducks swim slow,
as amnesia paddles them
in nowhere circles.

Lead tinted tears,

The Burning Vehicle

...A slow and painful crash
Where one sees one's face
Approach the dashboard in infinite detail
Where one has time 
To check one's fear in the mirror
But instead takes a suck on a vape
And...

...feeling exposed as mud splatters,
the cotton clinging and drenched
chattering teeth, seething relief
as the sun warms the rancid smile
of bulbous peaches pressing,
depressing and like an eclipse...

Do You Iron Your Jeans

...When I was young my mum ironed my jeans
With my clean underwear on I thought I looked keen
But as I grew older and had to look after myself
Ironing your jeans was a sign of wealth

So I didn't i...

...The noon sunray squeezes my eyes,
Viewing the snowy mountain heights,
Under immense blue screen:
What a nice shiny scene!

The birds sunbathe their wings in high;
First rain left few flowers dr...

...Celestial weeping - angel tears,
pouring from Arcadian spheres,
liquid sunshine from Gods own eye,
I kiss the rain as clouds drip dry.

Rich pearly drops - heavenly bliss,

Out from the safety and into the womb

Ode To a Shrunken Sweatshirt

...It wasn't that she couldn't read
It was just instructions she failed to heed
For on the back was a washing label
100% fact, 0% fable
Perhaps she thought it was a lie
"Drip dry" "Drip dry" "Drip dry"

And I would say it's safe to assumey
That deep within her Christmas heart
She longed for a gift from old Walmart
