 when all is nonsense

that only the senses matter

make sense

 confetti 

in the cherry tree

mr & mrs sparrow

 through the wet hedge

the postman in his red van


dons his waterproofs

 ten thousand suns

in one massive black hole


my blank expression

 knocking back my sake

i spot the roof spider 


welcome welcome

 

                 lambs wool

or the white clouds of spring

    neither

      a photograph of a bomb

            exploding a myth

 my neighbour is

power-spraying the inside


of my skull


 singularity 

all of the outside

is inside
