Motherland, go figure

“Come, sister” said the priest
urging me to follow his lead
But I couldn’t.
It was that time of the month
and my gran said No.
So did the faith.
I was relieved, glad, to not have to bathe
in the sweat of thousands
pretending
bleating
with the rest of the flock
as though she would heal me.

We sat in the van at the roadside,
outside   the cemetery
exclusively
for children and babies
it haunted me for the duration of our wait there

But we ventured out
We entered a bar full of men and exited promptly with a Thums Up!
We sat and talked to the man with the lemons
as though we’d known him all our lives

She hung up her huge brightly coloured suits
on the trees
paving the street
like they were own washing line.

Surreal
Yet so not.

Nothing: Always want the ones we can’t have

I cried for you
Like Alice did when she grew
Cried curled up in a ball
The foetal position
Brandy in my ears
My mother nowhere to be found

Music my only sound

Muffling my choked tears
Trying to desperately to make sure no-one
hears.

The next day
You beamed at me
I smiled at you
If only you could see
And fall for me too

Dark Knight

Are you my knight in shining armour?
Well, in dull plain clothes
susceptible to all the elements

immortal

Are you my angel in disguise?
here for life

You seem to be that for everyone else
You fix what’s broken

Can you mend me?
Fragile
Sentimental
Overly sensitive
I am weak
I seek         your healing actions
your masculinity
promise me you will put me back
together again
gather every shard of my shattered
self
like glass smashed into a billion
smithereens
make the impossible possible
and repair me
so that I can nourish you
and tell you everything will be okay.

———————lips

—————————- your

But I’m not sure I

want to hear

——you
——–have
———-   to
————-say.

Yes

Are my lips the only ones
to have kissed your lips?

Are my eyes the only eyes to have
seen your body naked,
in its entirety?

Is my nose the only one to have
rubbed yours the way eskimos would?

[Are my beard and stubble the only ones
to have scratched and tickled your neck?]

Are my fingers the only ones
to have left fingerprints all
over you?

Are mine the only hands to
have opened wide your body
to ease myself deep into you?

Am I the only one to have (ever)
given you a
<<raison d’être>>?

He Is

I imagine him to be a fast, enthusiastic,
excited lover who likes it
kinda rough and ready.
I think he could grow to be an
intense slow (deep) one though.
Right now, though, I think
he’s free
I think he feels that way
and
he likes it that way
and either now (or I dunno about the
future),
doesn’t really want to compromise
his freedom or want anyone else
to do that to him either.
I’m pretty certain he hasn’t got a
girlfriend/isn’t seeing anyone.
I actually don’t see him as the type
to “commit”, as in, to have a
girlfriend or to be too bothered.
That said,

I’m sure he has charmed
many girls
all around the world.
He must have; he’s so
unbelievably sexy
-I think it’s his
confidence
and
intelligence
and
knight-in-shining armour persona
