spanish quay

today footsteps splash red pink red
high heels painted with a brush
after one long year, 20 days

The dustbin catches fire
quenched by red hot chillies paint
cooled by cold council shuffling bookshops

at lunch hour you arrive
with coke, avocados, plums and love

the spanish woman talks to me in south american dialect
my confusion gives way to English "You are Picasso" "you are Picasso"
blesses me hand on head and I seasonsgreetings her


energies venge splash and dots and crystals
merge with carbon monoxide and three kinds of pakodas

three little children and prince austin paints with me
i get my yellow and pink mixed up with blacks

random hugs from a random stranger

lambton quay: you stand there long and they return
