I love to Count by Jacinta Owens | 35 pink torpedo pills in a line
crumpled wet bed sheet
lick them
candy-coated liquorice sweets use them as lipstick
pink to make the boys wink 5 on the floor now
beads lost from a string
waiting to be fixed
still waiting 10 down my throat
toggles from my P5
duffle coat
then glad to be alive I dress myself now
don't I? 20 back in the jar
haven't gone too far
knock on the door
up off the floor dinner an hour later
crossword puzzle, 11.30 fader. |
