Where The Smaller People Go

where the smaller people go.

we were guided by the lights of Ilfracombe.

check-mate and foe as one 

we have shielded oh too many times

loves odour through the language of a cat.

 

nine times each we have slain loves stocks and shares.

our kingdom was our own, it was lush

it was a blood-rush high on cortisone.

our muscles lost in the day-to-day mundane

our bones repellant sprays on a nervous twitch.

 

no sacrirfice to make.

no treasured buried secrets stunning eyes.

it is peaceful here.

all eyes are lost and look their seperate ways.

it is most glorious and dull

where the smaller people go

to cast aside at wind-speed our heir-apparent must.

 

which of us will dare the first to touch?

she has skin. she has a heart.

she has room enough for two in her heated pulse.

which one of us will set a scene 

act out a fantasy

and be tied down with the ribbons of her knees?

 

it is cold down here

where the smaller people go.

touch it. make it grow.

let it snow it\'s summer leaves of afterglow

to take me from this place

this place where all the smaller people go;
