Premonition 16

You rolled your tongue, you spat... I flew... A hole in one!

Despatched

me in the kitchen sink; I sank confused and bruised and thinking about

our

honeymoon of nights beneath the moon together. Crosslegged, floating

down

the river. We didn't need a boat-us angels aren't afraid of water, are

we?Are we?? I am, now I'm lying flat with alligators and rats to talk

to... licking sweetcorn from my fingers, tea leaves from my eyes;the

blood

of suicides is dripping on all sides, and I'm wondering if one of them

could be you. YOU..... Yes, I wonder if one of them could be you.

(She said, "no complications...I've been hurt too many times before

and each time, well it gets a little harder - I'll hurt you if you stay

for more. (she said....) She said : "it was different last night; You

were a tiger on the prowl. You had claws - but they snapped. You don't

attract me now. She said, "Don't bother phoning ; I'd slam the receiver

right down. Well, I just want to be alone you know these days.....)

Somewhere someone's laughing.
