ThunderClapped

 

Thunderclapped

                Stepping back

Trying to listen

                Like a zombie

I can hear the ocean

                Rushing through my veins

Its an ebb and a tide

                At the great divide

Mother crack break my spiney back

                And mother

I am just a child

                In this 39 times

Zippered in my skin

                Watching it wither

While the sky is falling

                On the c**k

A doodle do

                My own life

Rings the gong in the distance

                Pause

Until

                My cup overflows

Seaweeed cresting over the folds

                In my slushy brain

And it’s a lie

                It’s a lie

Where I wallow in this stye

                Picking flowers

Of thorns

                Pricking skin

And my blood is warm

                I fall down

Drumming the ground

                Stop drop and write

Nick my neck

                Cause its stiff

Let the twitch in my eye

                Glance off the sun

And it’s a lie

                Lie

                Lie

When all the great tides

                Crash and wont divide

Justa spreading round my station

                My salty moat

Of infestation

                Lappin at my feet

And suddenly I feel so incredulous

                Thinking what’s this reason

About a mad mad season

                Raining down on me

Me head

                Tuck me back into bed

Where I can listen to the pitter patter

                Din

And lead me where you lie

                Freeing me of the worlds

Eye.

Parts of this are amazing and parts don't quite work. I really love the bit from "And Mother" to "skin". Great work!
