Rust on Cloth

Taith Araf [ 120 x 80 ]

Rust on Cloth

Steve Coel

[ Ideas ]

...scratches jotted on car handles...paper packed tight in glove, tears behind ears...dead jeans and dated trainers.

...catching your breath on street corners...gripping your shopping against baggy knees...spirit is ignored here...your addiction is poverty...rust on cloth.

[ Discarded ]
...the smell of wet anorak, warm beer and fuel.

[ Notes ]

[i]...tension builds up and dies away, remains static, or assumes a different pattern.

[ii]...microflashfiction involves a flash of illumination, a shock.

Weekend Pass

[ It begins... ]

Grey. A grey dismal sky, disgusted 
with seeping sighs at the sight of
cellars of music, cheap meat and
middle aged women with American sailors
careening, preening and screaming,
like angels of delight spewing
on to damp staircases.

Pressing. Pressing new mobiles to ear
young children glare at old timers
clicking tongues on fairground rides
in broken jeans...

Extract from - Weekend Pass.
Performance piece last requested on 
National Flash Fiction Day.

Lighten Up

Steve Coel

Mystery man,shadow man
is what they used to call him.
Him a thin whistle at dusk,
the latest three day millionaire
returning from sea to die again
over and over.

Shallower sea back then
better cut cloth
broader smiles.
Now; too many rope marks
and twisted bones on metal
are mixed with drink drunk 
sharp curses shared 
in dark corners.

Going On

Poisonous words

leaving a familiar taste.

It's a street thing really.

Really

if it's going down

you're going to know.

Someone will always tell you,

get the message through. So;

stands to reason

you'll either deal with it

or leave.

Quick like.
