loitering in 'wanna' land, like the spider with too much caffeine, web crazed, one leg for walking, seven for addiction tomorrow, 6 am, airport. will 4000k be enough? leaving me to walls, web, sticky sweetness of anticipation in water now but wet never, shallows of linger, skulling sky, flirting with a daytime moon then the first sip (which, curiously, sits nearly twice inside disappointment) and the cube comes good. birds feed, flutter, a skink, urgent over limestone, vertical, holding as I am not because there will be no finishing, pickets pinking in this bushfire of dreams and then I start thinking of absence, satin backs of ravens, rendered brickwork, an easterly, always an easterly shirring leaves and desires
