pict-too

a slendering into irrelevance
pict-too pict-too painted blue
—and now the unwanting

to crawl down to bed in seek
to find a dream in shiftspace
between the you and the me

that clackbone cracking
after the summer, corewood
once living, now dead

kiss me before the afterglow fades
pict-too pict-too all painted blue
to slip to my slendering again

    what a delicious verb: “slendering”. So evocative.

    Excellent song. I really like the idea of shiftspace.

      It’s an idea I keep toying with, those places.

      Thanks Bob🙏🏼
