Bandaid

Folder: 
365 challenge

 

Soil has a drying dirty heavy feel

Lying in the wrong area of your mouth

And you spit, and spit

And you claw, scraping any remainders away,


Yes the ground rushed up too fast,

Hands out forwards to push the surgence away.

But it bit back on your fingers and knees

And there they are

the dripping fierce red drops,

A sticking plaster! A sticking Plaster!

To gate them in,

Through hazysobs and hacking spits.

This is quite spectacular, to me. Too visual for it's own good, a moment in time when my speeding bike fell through a damaged wood plank on a boardwalk and the ground did indeed rush up too fast flooded my mind. And then the drama of the bandaid. I had to laugh. Well done, I think :)
