talk.

Toothpaste and comb,

Tea towels and cinnamon,

Notes and novels,

Oh, nostalgia.

Wild sugar and mercury,

Pasta and ketchup,

Rock and stone,

Confusion – pause. 

Numbers and strangers,

Yogurt and Nana,

Glass and wine,

Turbulent dreams.

Messages and text,

Ember and paper bags,

Postcards and photos,

Sickened desires.

Tribes and race,

Landlord and barista,

Five and twenty,

Subdued thoughts.

Dance, and...

Perish?

Blasphemy.

Nonsense recruited amongst sensation,

Combine and relinquish,

Meaningless, unrequited emotions..

Speech.
