Open the door to yourself
Giles Denmark

Open the door to yourself
Enter
Go in
Find a man hanging in the kitchen
His hands clasping a feather pen
Write down the words on the tip of your tongue
Inscribe it boldly on his blue eyes
As he smiles and the rope snaps
Push the plug in the socket
Make sure the milk on the wall is creamy and thick
Take to the television sleeping in your bed
Slide into its curvature, search for the white spots
Complement all the colours
Punch up the newsreader, so there's blood in print.
