THIS world is LOOSE
25.3.05
the world is loose
upon the veins
icing the alcohol and rocking back
daring you to kick out the leg
atlas makes chairs y'know
the world is loosed
playing in the streets again
coming bare like a breast popping out
just a bit too much to take
sentences have words y'know
this world is loose
fuzzying around
greyed at the edges almost by flame
and one inellegant rotten breath can wipe it all out
pestilence has legs y'know
the worls is loose
casting about
for a smoke and a good pickup line
there are belly baring girls playing pool
aphrodite has given it a go y'know
the world is loosed
on every happy soul
breaking the jack boots in shit kicking style
kicking bass and inaudible names
this is THE world y'know
this world is loose
take it all in
the variety of colours breaking 'neath skin
get on up and get out to take the world on
some of us have plans y'know
hands
in the spaces and places
there are these hands
long, thin birdlike hands
flowing with energy and lifeforce
colourful hands
pale as fresh snow or sallow and olive
hands that I watch and admire
wondering what possessing them would be like
if I had them for my own
these hands
wonderful hands
that shape, manage and mould
hands that are rock steady
what futures could I direct with them
these hands
that express confidence
that are graceful when talking
or just holding still
these hands
reaching out, encompassing
waving goodbye and leaving
these hands
captivate me
and in holding me still
capture me in all ways
