To kill passion - take it to a shopping mall
There
amidst the ordered, labelled, packaged clutter called essential..
There
amidst the multiply, twinply, multiude of hygenic, scented not to offend protection from end to end...
There
amidst the glossy sticks of lipstuff, the pampering glut of revivers restorers and menders,for splitenders..
There
amidst the germkilling lotions, the clean and kill potions , the bought in a bottle notions...
There
If you can catch a hint of musk
the real stuff
sweat or salt - a taste of loam
There
If you happen to glance on fresh skin
sun splashed
or spot a pulse - a life sign.
Turn there
leave the trolley standing
quicken down the aisle
push urgently past numb queuers
and "have-a-nice-day"ers
Now
Run
Past the cars held bay by lines
Run
Away from tar's harsh grip on ground
Run to earth
to sun feel
touch the wind
run to real
