Kerri Shying R - #325 - Record of Interview


Record of Interview

they   always say    
the way     I was surrounded

I thought that     I would die   the guns drawn
get   out   of   the   fucking  car  mother   fucker
            
and that’s just 
how the cops talk   forget the desk men

so polite in air conditioned beige
the machines that vend the coke
the  chips 
that all swims back to view
much later              
the ERISP light
an eye              that waits you out
they always say  that god forgives    your

gambler’s courage    here
not the place      to play
            as the light sets solid to record
            fixate on the scent
of the last flower

that tree on your walk              it only comes out
once a year             just the week the street
from asphalt  shimmer            leaps to Shangri la
keep             it            on             your            brain
god forgives              the silence
            stay close
 to flowers
