Sleep Shattered Night
In the grey solitude of that long sleep shattered night
the miserable, silent shining black dog with deep pond pool dark eyes
fixes his crunching jaws on the sad weak bones in the base of my spine
All I want is the warmth of that pretty blonde smiling cabin crew friendliness who would quietly laugh and slowly close her eyes
as I slide my hand on her silky black stockinged thighs
The birds begin to call their welcome back to the day
The light faintly breaks on the tilting roofs
The searing hot shower washes away the grit of the night
I shake out the leather leash, prise open the jaws of the black dog
and lead the sullen, silent animal back to my office chair
