Richard Scott

the hole

the hole

the hole

hope what is it be honest with me
you think it’s desire a want
a wasp fizzing
for the gap in the window

are you sleeping at all
wine helps whiskey too
I haven’t gone to bed sober for eleven years
I don’t know any lullabies

tell me to fuck off
if you want sympathy is so pat
you just want him back him

walking through your brain neck
still smelling of davidoff cool water
that was is always thinking of the rose outside
Close

the hole

hope what is it be honest with me
you think it’s desire a want
a wasp fizzing
for the gap in the window

are you sleeping at all
wine helps whiskey too
I haven’t gone to bed sober for eleven years
I don’t know any lullabies

tell me to fuck off
if you want sympathy is so pat
you just want him back him

walking through your brain neck
still smelling of davidoff cool water
that was is always thinking of the rose outside

the hole
