WELDER’s SHADOW

Heavens Admission Fee
Wrought iron gates wait. No Caller ID. If you don’t mind me asking Joe, is something going down. lilac wildflowers kiss ironwork, a tension of opposites. soldier awkwardly cools. Self care with paper cuts, two ghosts in a graveyard having tea for two, would you like a slice of lemon in your cup of tea, would you like lavender or a homemade biscuit, you’ve got a broken heart and maybe this could fix it. Will you come back? you don't have to answer that at all. the welders toothbrush licks cuttlefish teeth, a kitchen knife admires itself in a decorative silver hand mirror. the weight of metal curls, waves of a shadow, butterfly wings cast within the dregs, a crucifix blushes, the gates to heaven are closed on Tuesday between 4pm and 5pm, the sky holds mother of pearl, the clouds spray each other with cologne giggling. raindrops faint. a seagull dances along a highway, mother wallpapers the bedroom wall of her missing son. Will you come back? you don't have to answer that at all, sunset trips over silver and black as if all the colour stops from memory, The welders shadow the ocean floods Cash Converters, posca pens in office works coldy sweat, set alarm for heaven appointment at 4:15pm, heavens admission fee is $49 plus booking fee, wind fizzles against skin, the shoreline softly hands over spare parts.
