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.
