exit wounds

Not that it can ever be mended with dirty pictures and colourful balloons, but at least we can turn the never-ending pain of departure into a thing of beauty.

Like this song -- and, for that matter, all the others by these lovely architects & engineers building their huts on the tiny, storm-bruised plots inside of us.

Permission still fully valid.

Lovers’ crooked little stitches

Pinch and tug the skin
And all those pillow fights and Sunday mornings
Hurt like shiny pins
And every earnest kiss departing
Leaves an exit wound
But we can patch it up with dirty pictures
And colourful balloons
