6 June 2012

These creases in my skin Beginning from shoulder Down to a hand Weathered in places Knuckled and scarred tell a tale of twenty-five Years spent on this earth

The bands of flesh Wrapped tight about An elbow's girth Or short, stubbed toe Whisper, creak of use Or damage in relief Or healed, unknown

Blow me far from Clapham Dalston, Morden, Kent To hills and hides Hid from Hyde Wild and amorous Coursing past palm trees Spent on a hotel desk
