Close the curtains
Light the incense
Inhale the thick clouds with your eyes closed, your nose
Burns, on your knees
In the corner of a strange woman's room
Her naked feet like tree roots in this undergrowth
Frankincense
Frankenstein
Francophile
Philistine
Frankly, we are killing time
Wake it
Bring it back to life
Kneel
Bathe in warm water
Your bodies dirt turns the bath-tub as grey as these walls
Notice
Bathe at moon-rise and
Sun-rise and
When-you-switch-off-the-telly
Wrap your head in clean towels
Curl up like a found thing
A dead insect collected
Between the pages of an old book written in a language you can't read
Now dry the inside of your elbows in
Painstaking ritual
Three times clockwise
Three times anti-clockwise
Don't breathe in until there's no air left in your
Lungs
Keep moving
Don't move
Keep moving
Don't move
Seven point two billion humans
Seven point three billion humans
Seven point four billion humans
The rain falls like troops
Like troops
The rain falls
Open your coat in it, shiver and cough
Your skin's like a dead thing, dying
Your feet like pond weed, the rain falls like troops
Walk
Up the hill
Post pub trudge
Laugh to it
Live to it
It's coming to pass
My countries coming apart, the whole thing's becoming such a bumbling
Open the front door, your key is an arrow
Now turn three times in the hallway
Peel off your clothes
Socks last, socks last
Stand naked and push your twig fingers
Through the wet bracken that storms by your ears
Stand naked and shiver
Now dress
In warm things that smell of your
Body
Lie in a cross on the rug
Watched
By the dog, let his mild concern be
Comforting
As you
Stare
At the bottom of the chair
Drink rum from a curved glass that
You stole from a place that you hated
Eat raw food standing up at the fridge
Stroke the phone screen with your thumb like a
Mother
Trying to wipe clean the face of her only
Child
That blemish that black dot that will not come
Clean
The first sign of the
Plague
Absorb the ache of all your
Friends
And sleep with the light in your brain burning UV all night
Wake tired
Eat bread, eat oranges, eat bus stops, eat traffic jams, eat shoes, eat
Shop windows, eat the chair you're sitting on, eat the paperwork, eat
The table, eat the idea there was ever more than this, eat the beer, eat
The Takeaway, eat the toothbrush, eat the boredom, eat the breakup, eat
The phone she hasn't called, eat her ringtone, six times, six times and
When she answers eat the silence in your mouth, eat the pillow, eat the
Blankets, eat the moon, eat the screaming drunks
Eat the bad dreams wake up
Eat the alarm remember to chew
Are you doing this
Too?
Seven point four billion humans
Seven point five billion humans
Seven point six billion humans
Open your arms
And their legs
And your teeth
And their jeans
And your ribs
And their eyes
And your skin
And their brain
And push two lonelinesses together and create
More
Loneliness
Or create god and come inside
Each other
Walk through the city alone
In a stupor of love
Create god
Touch Everything
Nod at strangers like a daffodil with a severed head
Your face is a trumpet
Blow the futile brass part
Sit across your lovers lap and scream into their mouth
Where's love?
Create god
But where's love?
The last real pub in the south is surrounded by
wankers and they're coming in close with their cards out
So let's link arms
Be prepared to go down with your ship, your ships sunk
Be prepared to go down
Stick your hands out of the car on the motorway
Feel the wind pushing its face into your open palms
Keep moving
Don't move
Keep moving
Don't move
Keep moving
Light the incense
Inhale the thick clouds with your eyes closed, your nose
Burns, on your knees
In the corner of a strange woman's room
Her naked feet like tree roots in this undergrowth
