Desk drawers
Fractured tibia
Stopwatch red
Dream febricula
Medicated blues
Hangover sober
Ready-set overdose
Insides uncovered
Busted-up mouth
Bloodied ceiling
Cracked linoleum
Window unhinging
Screaming children
Playground purple
Tempest tantrums
Drainage overfull
Halted arguments
Gossipy neigbours
“Do-not-cross” tape
Handcuffed endeavour
Guilt-ridden laughter
Covered up with tears
Madness manifesting
“I didn’t do it, dear.”
A Lost Painting
