Eyes rolled like eggs
in the cutlery drawer
The coffee stains
on the rug
began to bleed
That looks uncomfortable
I gathered the eyes
in a pan
lit the gas
The pupils were pips
to be pulled
with tweezers
They hummed
in a bowl
A bubble broke
the surface
of the water
I covered my mouth
with my hand
Pardon you
I'll leave you to it
I danced
with the fireguard
during the wait
but he was overexcitable
and had to be sent
to the cupboard
under the stairs
to calm down
I smoked a cigarette
to cover the screaming
The challenge had made
my hands shake
the air was blue lace
