Remember Me In Iceland...

I can see the rainbow reflected in your glassy eyes. It’s quite lovely. A shame that you can’t enjoy the sight as well.

I’ll take a picture. It’ll last longer.

-Peter

Bitter-sweethearts played back in stereo,
falling in and out of love at this loud volume.
shake.SHAKE.SHAKING IT.
to the heavy-metal thunder beat
sucked down through a curious girl’s
vacuum eyes
of smoke and lightning grey.
They’re clouding up her glass-light barrier,
pouring that 100-times-done-before melody
down and out on the street corner
begging for a proper penny,
six pence none the richer, at least.
Rocking crew-cut, platinum-plated love accords
through that mad hatter’s tambourine.
