TANTRUM



Hasn't it been a cold hearted joke we traded over the cafe table?
I've dreamt of you thrice this week.

Swim, drown, float, swim, drown, swim.
Swim, float.

Eternally suspended, foetal, warm womb.

Die out every morning on the warm bed. Sun is a gloom rotting mandarin over this horizon.
Sink back into the driver's seat and pretend it's a Spring day back in an eroding land you've been to some past live ago.

Chrysanthemums bland yellow clumps.
The dandelions on your jeans.

Tiredness.
Hollow eye sockets.
Mask.

I never knew what it was when it comes to you.
