Tired
Tired,
tired words
burst like plastic footballs.
Waiting on this sand-paper plain,
I am no more than a skull
propped up.
With biro for harpoon,
I remain still
in the little pool of my shadow,
turning questions over
on the spit of my mind;
I have burnt larks on my plate.

And when there is drought and nothing is growing, the first rain comes like a shower of diamonds.
