Spanner Chuck

If I do it every time

Then every time I do it


I never want to go from know

To knew it


I never want to stress you

Wreck you

Compress you

I just want to protect you


I know I’m the fragile bones

But that brittle stone

Went roughish 


I’m home-ish


Not the loveliness of homely

The fresh cooked cake

Or piping dinner plate

When you hold me


But I’m almost there

I’m nearly nuclear

And all predictable

But the grey days

Are trained

And Olympic in spanner chuck


I suppose to be that puzzle piece

All that leaves

Is to learn how to duck

When the luck of

Clear sky

Starts to blubber and buck

Pour razor blade rain

And cut

Through sunny hand-holding


Just when you thought

That was enough

The downpour comes bleeding down

Scolding


I no’d all for a lifetime

Now I yes until my spine cries


I like folding at the knees

Bogey rolling disease

Chancing PH balance

For sleaze

And crying when I crease

I like being odd

And odd seems to like me

I like saying please before thank you

And thank you after please

But what I like best at the moment

Is your funny face 

When I tease

But the holt ain’t cold

So I don’t freeze 


And I do it every time

And every time I do it


Let’s not get over this

Let’s go right fucking through it


Then suddenly you’re so specific

Silly and soppy and saying screw it

Slicing your own forecast 

As that slick sky spews it

We take a bubble bath

In the rubble, use it

To wipe clean the dirt

Of our past and undo it


You were tied nice and tidy

Toe to top

Tentative as you stopped

Top to toe


But you will never know


What my belly does when it volts

World records as you hold

Me in the globe

Of that stare


I thought you’d always care


Thought you’d always keep the shirt on

Always cut the hair

Always dare the telly on past eleven

But quickly you showed fair

Competition


Never let them listen

To the auditions

With you like I do

Never let them piston 

In work boots the way I shoot

Never let them glisten

The way your eyes boom


Because


Every time you do

You do every time


That’s why

I bungee jump my belly

When you bite my spine 

Or tie

My wrists together

And lie 

Me face down 

And tickle with your teeth


Every time you do it now

Please

Let it be with me


And never dare apologise

For all your oddities.
