blood wet lips



I'm only a daisy 
With drooping petals 
Some of them brown 
torn at the edges 
Washed out and jaded 
Burnt out and faded 
Tired looking and acrid 
Like a spat out fag butt 
Or a blackened bit of bit off chuddy
(Where I come from 
the streets are paved with chewing gum)
I came from the thousandth planet 
To stand before you naked 
damn it 
To blaze with sunshine 
Incandescent 
Blister with zest 
All shimmer and spanking
And the rest
whatever comes next 
Jocundity and audaciousness 
The temerity to intimate this 
Spaciousness 
The singularity of my purposeless meaning 
The daisy without a ceiling 
Who came from planet Burma
To stand bedraggled before her 
please please pluck me naked 
Liken me to a letter from Norwich 
Then I'll wring with starlight and photons 
Give myself 40,000 volts of derision 
Be laughed at belittled and scorned 
And whisper I love you be warned 
As my wrinkles get fatter and colder
And the distance between forever and this brownian daisy 
narrows to a whim 
I'm dreaming dreaming 
Of leaving my mouth my fingers my England 
on your cunt your wetness 
Your shattering flower 
This is what it's like 
To swim in infinity 
With Picasso and Virgil 
I'm dreaming dreaming dreading 
All these terrible beautiful terrible things 
This is what it's like
To be in love
When you're a fucking useless 
Piece of grass
Thank you father 
I never knew myself
Just this rotting 
Sway of petals
I only fall in love 
with that what I can't have
Guinevere 
Sunshine 
Sleep 
Your blood wet lips.
