Cut out

Wet roofsgreen, green leavesbluebird sullenly staring at meout there beyond the treesfootsteps of a humming city.Do I want your complex chemistry?Spawn of ancient Babylon, dancing girls,prayer shawl, swift flights of desert wind.You’re standing in a barglass of winerapt girl pinned to your sidethere at the back of your mindis a cut out image of me.…………………………………………………………………………………………..Circles recreate their yarn, lines of soldiers bursting to escape that hinged compartment that you call your heart. I’m waiting for your eyes to surprise me, I want to cut them out and wear them in my ears, black diamonds, black pools of Hebrew wisdom, then I could forget you. All roads lead to tunnels I’ve arranged and re arranged over years.…………………………………………………………………………………………..Faces changelines crackunder the pressureof a lazy afternoonwhere the bluefinally shines through.
