Gloves |
Today I found a baby’s glove |
Lying on the drainage board, so still |
Yesterday a leather glove |
From the slim fingered hand of a woman |
The next time I saw one |
It was lying half frozen |
And twisted on the herb |
And I couldn’t take it |
Now I have my own private collection |
All lined in rows when you open up the wardrobe doors |
Now I have no room for my obsession |
Lined up and labelled in neat little packets |
The next time I saw one |
It stuck inside my head |
And became all that |
I could think about |
And through wax seals and padlocks |
A hand through my ribcage |
Past the choking I saw palms and fingers grasping |
Shoulders. |
collarbone. |
crushing |
I imagined myself |
Hacking desperately at a sea of appendages |
Forward and right |
Freeing myself like a butcher |
Feeling the mash of bone and sinew |
Running slowly down the front of my body |
And I couldn’t take it any more |
I said, I’ve got to go |
I’ve got to get out of here |
I’ve got to go |
And I ran down the street |
I’ve got to go |
I’ve got to get out of here |
I’ve got to go |
