Adieu metro

I skipped one metro for another

And later, one more.
For he promised love in a container.

I blinked my way at the railway.

One step behind

I climbed the cobweb stairs.

The intern corners smelled of sticky kisses.

I blushed.

My breath ran out at the 6^th floor.

The creaking door lead me in

The walls had tales etched.

And the air rancid

But I was content

He was in love!!

Days slipped

Nights followed

He beer kissed my blood out

And fell bare in his hug.

I smelled liquor in and out.

and slept

my cloths shed and dreams torn

I searched love all over again.

In the slender crammed streets and blocked shops.

But nothing moved beyond my breast and thighs.

My luggage was light and baggage dull

Why don’t you pant when u descend stairs?

I breathed life along the dusky corridor.

For you and me

I left u metro, my love.

Hated you in a distant land.

Shall opt a sojourn

Never to love you (again)

To re/de claim

My incessant hangovers

The Gazes I emptied on the rails

My sweat worn self

And

Dripping sleep.

I am cross

Cross like hell.

I shed

my skin

my hair and nails

my mirth

my lipstick and jasmine roll-on

my smoke and rum 

my blasphemy, my god

my jerky loves and ravenous lust 

my overdosed daze and sporadic hysteria

my hunger strikes and over weight

my stench of four walled draftiness and

steam of distant slums.

I am dead.

I back step forward

Is there love in distance?
