nostalgia-ruins - that sprawl of afterwards

random awakening
startled me once, a
nearby motorway
hums with what
can only be bees
thought myself once
upon the koi coloured
cotton sheets this
graveyard of swallowed
footsteps, where is my -
lifetime? deep in the armour
of rotting words? in the cradle
of rocking rust? sadness for
pillows, there’s a canyon there
of trodden petals
ruins say the shadows that try
to stride there but remain in one
place only, where clocks are stuck
at lonely, there’s falling, everyone
is falling, apostrophes from eyes
an atmosphere of don’t live your
life there, buildings are shoulders
for changeable skies, my head doesn’t
fit the lightning that casts its theatre
there, my zeus bolt can exert a planet -
then become absolutely nowhere, where
the signposts are inverted and the maps
drunk, back to the dot that made me from
love and honeysuckle-hip-action, now i’m
a person with thirsts, several winters of them
they drift, and i drift to, the wind’s alphabet
is trying to explain scratching itself dead
upon the pane, shows me a leaf so old
held there brief as a hiccup, like most are
i conclude, like we are
another fading

yet another
gone without
waving, down
dirge lane where
darkness recollects
scared that my face will be there in amongst the broken brambles and that eerie forgetfulness
another i, middle
named as latin
you gave me the
coastline of exotic
flowers and where -
to touch them
it made me spill
worded, but goodbye
was never spoken,
i took your sigh and
grew it thru myself
we would never encounter again, i often think of your hips as tides, they brought me salt-wards in
now this spring of
deep crocuses has
been reached where
i find my footsteps
buried, the clock is fast now
and decided
looking thru as older evenings
tend to do, thru old silhouettes,
some read as scars in
scrutinised labyrinths
try oh try staying there
how i wander thru such outlines like moving thru red rich cinemas, a jar of bad kisses mainly
perhaps soon the dark
will come out from
concealment, from its hangar
with a word filled museum
to browse my life as it sleeps on
at the edge of anywhere in
particular, fragments from
the canvas are falling, death
row'd and white worried
nursing home
gazes i keep, i kept them all, tho gnaw is upon their fading, resistance of such pictures are losing
i see myself dark-lane’d
someone is coming out
from remembering, like
a greeting, we walk downwards
darkened heeled
behind us
deletes
the entire
sun and everyone
