Whisky spilled on chester drawers
sickly sweet
noxiously fragrant
greasy hand-prints mar the wall
and blood stains the sheets in
angry smears

reckless passions made evident
with condoms discarded on the floor
kicked under the bed
and forgotten
until ants begin to swarm.

I want to share...

this made me smile. It's an excerpt from a book published at www.bearparade.com

dear tao


today i read a book called NATURAL SCIENCE.

it had a picture of two ants standing very close together.

above the picture it said ‘worker ants communicate by rubbing their antennae.’

i wanted to communicate with you by rubbing our heads together but you weren't here so i rubbed my head against the wall instead and the wall said ‘i'm sad.’

my eyes made 3 tears and i pet the wall until we both fell asleep.
