colours

by Neil Wilsher - SIRIUS - Not entered

colours of a headache whirl starry-eyed -
and collapse in laughter, open-mouthed we show 

our pins and needles, we’re crack-lip teachers
selling idiots to baby millionaires

girls wear silk dresses and have straw hair
dipped in blackcurrant

their smiles are gunpowder
exploded with horseradish

colours of a headache whirl starry-eyed -
and go blind in the sun

it’s me behind here
