THIS IS NOT FINISHED YET

I just wrote this today - just gonna take a madman leap and put it out there. It's only a first draft; I will revise a few lines here and there, I think especially the ending....also the structure I quite like but hmm possibly needs work and well anyway I've heard in various places never point out flaws in things and now I'm just talking in my head-voice at the computer screen so


Above the Sky


By september, you will find me strapped and stretched

and exiting by way of tracks

                                               cross mind, straight face

                                               straighter with each nail, nail, nail and thoughts


"WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO FROM HERE?

We'll lay the groundworks,

spread the word 

                             our clack clack clack tracks

and perhaps we can wave you goodbye"


as an aside:

                                                        

                                                      

                                                        no-one here wants

                                                        just flesh and blood

                                                        to stream all the way up to our

                                                        steel-capped tips and claw

                                                        and put up functioning signposts to

                                                        "ABOVE THE SKY."



By september, they will write me an equation for sleep

programme the sun to not disturb

                                                           patterns of decision

                                                           

                                                          chaos of sky

                                                          will write itself a redundancy note

                                                          leaving clouds listless

                                                          


and all around me those hungry stone jaws

tracks for teeth.
