I slate a story with
Blue ink-stained fingertips
Broken places
Broken strangers
Broken hearts
I don’t want to talk
Small rainbows in puddles
Grey and cracked concrete
Confetti-coloured lanes
Open shirt/in your face
Naked honesty on
Pages of brickworks
The telling walls
Read like a liturgy
A scripted language
In a serpentine city
I’m not alone in
A skin full of scars
