sticks and stones


"Sticks and stones, love
I've saved your life
You saved mine."

now would be a good time
not to turn back
yes
now would be a good time

spoke to a friend today
in a "Landsdown", local pub.
eating fajitas and chilli con carne
he said: what's up?
i said: well. where to start?
his hands were in wounds
did some heavy lifting
as he does



Well. I said- I don't know where to start
it has been quite a month
it has been quite a trip
trough the land of unknown
and a couple of alternative worlds
but now there is no turning back
no turning back now.


he waved for the waitress
who liked my necklace on the way in
he ordered another round
and urged me to continue.

and
no matter how hard i tried
i could utter no words
no words no words no words
but
"he is my shelter
he is my bomb"

a friend laughed.
