background words leach into the detail
smeared and slarring obscurity
and you shake you head
clumsy as a child's first skip
and we walk holding hands
passing eyes closed the man
who smells like my father
nothing stillness echo your heels
on whitewashed walls
splash in the dust of dead puddles
it blurs and it bleeds
it remains out of mind
The Blue Book
