ANODYNE      
poem for pearshaped (dvd)

1 
you flow
with the tearshape
so heavy at the
bottom
that the top
is pulled away from space
it is endless
this fall
there is no earth

2 
this couch colonised
by crispy crumbly biscuits
mix of unbearable
itches I'm
white noise
I'm watching
dark TV
and who
am I talking to

3 
to wake up
clean and
wear your fluffy
towel the rest
of your days
reminding you
you washed it all off
revealing
soft sexy
skin

4 
if it doesn't all
fall out it'll
make for good
laughs in the pub later
a girl
inside-out on the bus
well I am
brassy broken
no photographs
please
 

5 
there's a heat in sleep
stokes stamina
dreams refill
the stuff you'll spill
next day on
hard floors in
harsh light
and you can't
wait
for night

 

6 
a submarine gulp
fitful friendship
bubbles from deep
wonder if
they've ever seen
explosions this mean
I'm a silver
screen to them but
I'm lucky
lucky
so lucky
