smouldering & snuffedA Poem by Ross Davison
there is
static
on all channels
the roof workers gone home
sally rides by in her car
blasting Groovasaurus
singing loud
the music warps away,
and the, click
click,
click,
of the clock swerves
you into my
shallow
breath, so
stripped, and
rubbing
the sensitive measure
skin so finely ground,
each surround thigh tickling
the chest rubbing
lean into me,
and
i need something to drink.
i’ll watch a film,
1960’s and sweet,
and forget i thought
about you,
bent over and
grinning the fool around lush.
Sheets to the wind, and floating
ice in my glass,
i
regain
my
composure.
and fill my heart with a romantic
comedy.
