Month: May 2022

do you

do you, do you, do you

love me yet?

do you, do you

have you

fallen

no regrets

fucking on a mattress

on the floor

you had no furniture

at all

for months

lived in your car

do you

do you

have you

succumbed

you hobo?

staying up late

frantic words

words, words,

type, write, text

don’t speak

the words

afraid

of what happens

next

if

what?

do you

do you…

suppose

the love

still

spills

out

you love

without

saying it

a frenzy

of avoidance

type, write, text

when

my crazy meets

yours

you’re crazy

I’m

relentless

engulfed

obsessed

tie me

to your bed

play games

with our heads

do you, do you, do you

love me

yet

Sunshine

I sat with my ex

in his garden

on a cold, bright sunny day

in Melbourne

we hadn’t

slept together

the night before.

He lived there

with his girlfriend

an arty chick

he met in London

I never knew her well.

She was right to

be uncertain

he was mine

for the taking.

And I blew off

my old best friend.

And he knew

I’d fucked his brother

– my god

I was hungover

we just stayed there

playing Scopa

in the sunshine

it was a nearly perfect day
