b l o o o m (16/11/18)

he lies alone on the floor,

       no shirt

            no shoes

and waiting for his skin 

        to melt.

For his body to seep into the carpet, into the concrete and

let the dust settle

on the bridge of his nose.

To feel the feet of strangers press into him

       over and over

trodden into, like chewing gum. 




He could hide in that.

But still he waits,

waits to be left there so 

           long 

That from under the foundations,

                                roots would slide through him

                And burst forth upward,

bearing flowers that bloom out of his chest

                       and blossom, from his mouth,

           a thousand fucks                                     for you to give.
