somewhere deep inside, like rain
broken connection

on unsettling weather
ripple, swelling, wave
crashing in from the West Country
close shutters, draw blinds
it will blow through
I'll do the necessary repairs
things will return to near normal
you won't see the damage
everything should look okay
almost as good as new

but not after this

On Cigarettes
he announced I have given up!
six weeks and it’s rare I feel the lack
I knew just what he meant
having given up on us
but he omitted
how raw that rare
how this rare is more like blue
there is still a pulse
when the knife goes in
I twitch
