fontanelles close

soft thoughts are left behind 

take it on the chin

impermanence 

the name they left for

perpetuity  

 salt butter

sucking at the packet 

feral child

 remembering

that you had forgotten 

you had forgotten 

 under the wallpaper 

under the wallpaper

a signature 

 pain

teaches length

long road

 temple

many feet

smooth road

 bouncing

down the steps of sleep

the dog’s ball

 shadow boxing

the crab shuttling 

a killer punch 

 the accretion 

of the many moons of life

event horizon

 red bridge

if you just wait there

you’ll see

 religion

the patent ductus of thought

that by-passes the higher centres
