·CuldeSac

I am about 400km inland Walking outside at night A seagull is laughing Out of place perfectly I remember the beach Day time South Africa Best memories of youth Summoned by the gull I am in my flat kitchen Checking a plastic bag It contains some carrion Perfectly being cleaned By squirming maggots Disturbingly they are grey Expected them to be white Everything has its place I listen to the music Everything must play Like the sum of angles In its total must always Equal to a 180 degrees The prettier she is The greater is her power The destruction she brings I looked on with great awe At how my dreams are flimsy And the want of man small How temporality defeats Even the most ancient star How no victory means I win That it sucks to be a loser And how I will always love her
