Bad Belly
bad belly
The thorns for the rose,
soil hands for oily lips,
tears for the picture in the
secret wallet:
chokes,lips drip vinegar:"am i responsible?
"how do you know"?"it cant be".
The clouds beneath the sky,
sunshine through trees(the shrubs suffer loss):long
blonde hair of snow white
,obstructing rays of a woman and child.
Abyss darkness,he drives his car on the freeway
thinking what to explain.
he reaches a traffic halt,
empty world,deep sea,
the devil.
the moon shines so he sees it all:
The ring hidden in his mouth when he said,"seem i have met you before"?"i am
single- hmm divorced"
and then one hotel,one bed, one night,
trouser and skirt on the floor.
