Project 823: Urban Myths (vol. 2, part 2)

The second in the Urban Myths series, featuring Ashley Martin, Cindy Keong & this Lost Shark is now complete, so over the next couple of days, expect a hit of the unexpected, the astonishing and the down right weird as together we combine minds and words to make our own myths.

**********

Viagra can be used as a slow release fertilizer
but is unlikely to aid in prolonging your
festive season and promise me you will act
at least mildly surprised that Catholic priests
actively groom young girls to adorn their car
windscreens with frangipanis, so forgive me
when instead I buy you a flute
just as our relationship ends

***

We will need a night ceremony, a woman
with a wig and the shoes of the girl in front of her

***

A bellying roar that scrapes the dark
where marrow and tomorrow meet: old toys and
the bones of lovers: assurances to the infants we are
