Failures

Full cream city
    sticky
dirty gains of a
red stop shop.

Dangling dreams of
    peppermint
in a shocking sky of blue…
    stockings of blue
    last time lost time.

Sticky red lips
in a full cream city -
A barrier to possibility.
    Pure
pretend world
of real pretension.

Wisps and tendrils, violin
strings to the sky
the universe of stars
beyond reach when we’re
    stuck
to the fleshy floor
beneath the red top rules of a full cream city.
