SUNDOWNS TIMEOUT

at
sundowns
timeout
some of us
pick a survivable poison
for 
the 
nights
solo
ride

~

at
sundowns
timeout
some of us 
blunt the days
terrible obsessions
into
butcher hacked 
bitesize chunks

and
file
them
away
where our fond misconceptions
will
never
look

~

at 
sundowns
timeout
some of us 
poison each other
in
elaborate
lengthy
unspoken
suicide 
pacts

mean words
like horror show fx
ring
brittle 

against a pair 
of 
shining empty black vases

john lewis

at
sundowns
timeout
the 
wall mounted flatscreen

five hectares wide

broadcasts
unwatched

and the new rattan garden furniture
out on the month old decking

( lit like an art installation
  by security lights
  bright as the sun )

a purchase never properly discussed
and waiting to be returned

is
escalated
into
inlaw
assassination
