DistanceA Poem by KateYou mouth my words Giving them your own truth Get stuffed And bury your pessimist thoughts I don't beg for cobblers You are talking While walking on building blocks Of your hoards of experienced notes I'm setting off Believe it or not...
Why is that so That distance hurts Like lynching on plantations Like torturing convicts By seven-year long labour In New Wales Colony Annexed by Phillip Arthur And his admiral agony 26 January makes sparklingly dizzy Every Ozzie Being so preposterously dinky And 1788's numbers are coiling Like lion's roaring
Distance so untouchable And yet felt Felt like thousand whisks Of forks in a bowl of eggy texture Like beating yolks Into white snow
Wrinkles on my fingers Sniffing sky's funny drug Flowing into my blood vessels Aorta and other pumping Life preserving cornerstones Music dancing in ear plugs Blurting out the background To my swimming Among a cloudy sound Like a doll Blinking bitter blobs of fears Like a puppy Wiggling its tucked tale Between rear o-shaped legs Shuffling in the gassy ocean Trying to hide my intimidation Chin up and thumbs sucked in Cheeks poked inwards Like Geisha's rosy middle Of her loyal lips Talking with a lisp... rather little
Hands bleeding Out of all the rubbing Staining my lap Like a red rivulet Absorbed by a sanitary pad Crams in my body Itching twitching like a tick I wanna be chic Being high is truly hypnotic But watch out! Landing is our crew now!
