After the Eye

slipping on ice
that's how you know it's not a joke
broken down trucks
an incendiary romance
soft touch, rock and rust
she left a mark on my neck
about two feet long
acid spit from Turkish lips
flywheel dropping down
sky fell when I saw you
eels licking the cockles
of an underground heart
broke off the fingers
of an iron god
spick and span denial
remedies of water and wine
this contemptuous lullaby
forgetting all of last Saturday
mix your thoughts up with mine
