Dear Peter,


The space between us is a living creature,
saber-toothed & homely,

a hangman's grip in its ill-shapen eyes-
nightmarish, sure, yet,
defeated by my one-track-minded shrug.



    Journeys with missions are waltzes on two feet; I keep in step, nocturnal eyes pealed and snow-glazed. Dozens of night-light headlights gleam like the heaven I'll never see.




The space between us is a living creature,
machete-clawed & restless.

yellow lines weren't meant for feet
like I wasn't meant for you





but
let nature pity the beast who tries to stop me walking down the middle of every street between y o u a n d m e






Love,

London

I can't stress this enough: I love. your brain.
