aeroplanes and goslings (Free verse) by Caducus
Old psalms from young throats
forced me to remember you
how you sat wide fingered
on a tryst worn chesterfield
heart beating like a pavement gosling.
You were petrified of yourself
standing like a colonnade
scraping graffiti like a back in motion
breathing for livings sake
and that was me in you
yet not inside till six months later.
In two hazel mirrors you laid
given from my mind,
taken by escalator teeth
with the kiss you blew me
leaving your lips
at mascara speed,
to a sea of brake lights
I drown in â
whenever I hear planes
