JB Writes Too

City Bus 17/12/08

Hopscotch thoughts
Tik tak
as the bus hurls itself
through city streets
people push forward on seats
in sharp jolts
did I remember my book?
Fuck
I’m here in your absence
Doing this
I’ve kept on for you
Perservered
Where once
devestation
like the aftermath of an explosion
left me as shards
I’ve re-built
As a city of steel and dust
And carry on
I’m doing this for you
Because of you
as you
slop blues and pinks on canvas
that hurried anticipation
Is what I adore
What will it become?
Those words I’ve read
How could they?
How could they?
Do that
to you?
Why?
Bewildered
Ashamed of the human race
Poor child with pretty blue eyes
come home now
You’re safe here
As strong as the Eiffel tower
And so I light up th night sky
for you
like fireworks exploding
tonight
