One Year On

Your noddy-body rinses it's ruddy cloudy skin Stingy, unsettled, so, summer sets in on the city, Under umbrells And waiting at counters And the sun slips low down Disappears the day after Locked in the zoo, like Animals braying low groans and deeper Half-spit half-thoughts, half the wit. Tighten up the barricades and cool up Here is something here is. Something is Far from something, it has or it has not She is either or niether Taking a deep breath As up we go out With the tidy Dolling out of bells tolling Ellie, I'm sorry.. I... I only meant to kiss you Lying awake On the edge of the bed, The sun sits low Down, Ellie, I'm sorry.
