Mona Two
In a supermarket yard,
lovely face washed,
by rain and river salt,
dressed always decent,
her trolley for a cross,
she sees them lay blankets,
spirits without a spark,
they sit there to rest,
it's a rare clerk,
not put to the test,
when clearing this park,
not to think of the lost,
they all do at Primark,
she shops in Lidle,
but life is so stark,
she can never forget them,
they are like larks,
next to the chapel,
if there’s ever a chart,
to pause for a moment,
bring food to no marks,
each of us vagrant.

Mona this starts here the new re- iteration
Smouldering like a star,
chasing numbers,
leaving the place ajar,
a different calendar,
her boss says 'i wonder',
she's a great heart,
then she bought a car,
made it trouble,
he won't let her off,
right from the start,
bewildered,
she floods the bar,
her Ma,
ten years after,
still hears her laughter,
she could have gone far,
surrendered,
smashed lipstick on,
sees it in her Da,
terrible to be a mother,
under a borrowed tarp,
love always hungers

My vision arrives too late,
it's not easy to believe,
what I have to say,
you rolled within my thunder,
exploded like a tree,
lost in moans to numbers,
you'll find out one day,
if you let me keep,
plans you’ve thrown away,
my mind is so uncluttered,
wild birds screech,
who needs love,
I won’t stand in the way,
of a cowards retreat,
make it last to date,
it makes you wonder,
stones, graves, wreaths,
who splits who asunder,
memories of your face,
are not easy to read,
the poetry of your days,
flies away from me.

Wouldn't it be great,
to dance on fallen snow,
to gurgle with the rain,
say it's not a ruse,
a fatal night that’s gone,
what it is got loose,
don't worry about gain,
at supper ask for bones,
search for stuff to pay,
forget it is our due,
or the need to show,
our party is the duel,
we’ll always walk in State,
spit upon the loans,
consider what remains,
we can never choose,
when we’re up or down,
we only burn low fuel,
lips are made to celebrate,
great deeds where jungles grow,
champagne cognac is our grace,
no one need ever know.

Please don't make me cry,
one star is nothing new,
between the moon and sky,
enjoy being stupid,
instead of cruel,
in a universe of fools,
don’t say it's all right,
to flush me down sewers,
give arsenic a try,
it’s not my perfume,
a song that oblates you,
breathe sweetly in tune,
you’ll face the tides,
without any view,
when you’re up this high,
it’s not lassitude,
or other tools,
laughter makes you crude,
bitter dreams by candlelight,
give me just my due,
angels split this ocean wide,
I’ll come back for you.

I won't leave you alone,
know every move you make,
even when you lie entombed,
Oh do it if you must,
get out of this place,
instead of gathering dust,
just enough of you gone,
to leave a nasty taste,
when you skip from loans,
it’s another loss,
when looked at this way,
aware of every cost,
you file like a honeycomb,
someone who craves,
regular trips on the bone,
can't hide what you’ve got,
what is left to take
write whatever you want,
on Blue promissory notes,
stamp it on your stone,
is it you, you fake,
can't you alter tone?

You can swear and blow,
say it's never too late,
to make your way home,
don’t piss in the soup,
or worry about fate,
you're no one's fool,
a rolling stone,
there’s no more escape,
luck's when dice roll,
it better come soon,
things change this way,
everything becomes due,
too close to the zone,
what is it about you,
who’s not alone,
don’t mind the looks,
you'll always need loans,
from those who spread news,
you're too old to roam,
nothing left to explain,
no knife to your throat,
suffer their gaze.
