I shall

















I shall... 

i shall busy myself with radiators
that need bleeding
apparently

and busy myself with toast
unburnt
because it is bread

and busy myself with smells
then hurry them
along

and busy myself with washing
unseparated so that it seeps
sad colours

i shall busy myself

away

Marked




















Marked

  
This mark here
on the wall

stained fingers of sweat

or lube
or something
else wet

remain on the paper


What tastes did you taste
when he fought in our
bed

greased skin
and stubble
eating each other ?

When you fucked it all up

marked
the walls of our home

When your bodies       moaned            about our bedroom

Condoms
  tossed
down

I walked back later

Was that your hand
or his

splayed on the wallpaper?
