Base Metal |
| If you could just see me now |
| Hands pitted blood red |
| One clasped to my chest |
| The other covering my wound. |
| Base metal. |
| Like some bag of skin |
| I felt for one moment that I could reach out to you |
| That the sea in it’s wisdom |
| It’s green blue wisdom |
| Could for one impulsive moment cease it’s spring tide |
| You’re wasting my time |
| Send my aching limbs towards your totem smile. |
| And that my bleeding might stop. |
| And that my wounds could heal |
| Nobody has the decency to say anything |
| And that my arm could weld itself to yours |
| We dream together |
| People pour past me a wilting figure |
| Metallic |
| Wooden |
| Constrained. |
| Caged |
| Masked |
| Hatred |
| I felt as if I could see leaves |
| I could see summer leaves |
| That autumns wind had cast to the ground |
| Give it up… |
| I felt as if I could sculpt time |
| But in one moment |
| This sweet clay turned to blood. |
| Sea blood |
| Un-refined. |
| We sit in silence |
| I had hoped to sculpt a memory of you |
| Sea memories |
| Of intense colours contained within a million sea stones. |
| Spoon fed or watershed. |
| Give it up. |
| And kill |
| Jahyawhan |
