wearily
she turns over
mashed potato
until the next customer arrives
so bright tonight
the street light
I mistake for the moon
at the roundabout
someone scores a goal
the taxi driver forgets where we’re going
Woke up at 4:14am - went straight back to sleep and dreamt that a team of decorators were painting the bedroom ceiling white whilst I tried to sleep. The sound of paint being rolled onto the ceiling kept me awake until I woke up.
heavy braking -
before getting on the bus
she exhales a cloud of blue
brushing teeth
my mirror face
fades in steam
early morning -
from a first floor balcony
a neighbour pours water from a kettle
onto the pavement below
with the hope of washing away
memories of a drunken night
