Natasha Helen Crudden and Rachael Mc Cabe - Drizzle

from Barbed​-​Wire Cage by Natasha Helen Crudden

/

lyrics

There was a reason I called- but now I forget.

A reason- or an excuse
To escape the estate of minds
Into the empty space
for life left to be lived.

The savage airhorn
Of a passing truck a war-cry
From a distant star
Protesting
There is no salvation
in the last glass of ginger ale
No more than the soggy promise of
redemption
in vodka tears.

I have returned
Back from the dead
Boasting the spoils of
vermillion tail-lights
vanishing into the fog.

Rainbow-spattered oil puddle
Mirrors all but its reflection
Left behind.

I cannot make head nor tail of it.
