Week 13 - # 87 - Collaboration w/Paul Hawkins

Painbirds 

The whole thing comes off the rails

in the front seat of a Renault Clio.

Same old, same old;

sparrows dive-bomb,

peck at your ears.

Voices without mouths talk to you,

you listen attentively

and answer. 

Imaginary phones are ringing

day and night.

              You

drink

              swallow

                          inhale.

Painbirds -

everywhere.

Paul Hawkins
