sabbie filled with paint and broken dreams
lips white
fingers silver
and the ralling cry
victory
victory
victory for whom?

tiny children
in torn clothing
and filthy beanies

so old inside
so shiney and new
inside
inside, children
come inside
to a world inside
your world
dwell inside your heads
dwelling out of your heads
out of your reality
outside of space and time.

victory for none
at the station

stations of the cross
and what a cross to bare.
bare feet
cold tiles
and carboard forts.
fights and taunts
and your mothers ancestors
will not be pleased.


but at least their getting some
while you have
none

"we live as best we can"
"i don't want to die"

oh lily
lily
lilyana

where is my plastic
lily?

eyes too old
head to small
to hold
everything
you've done.

what is it you've done
to survive?

do you remember what you've done
my street coloured lily

sabbie i watched this heartbreaking documentary last night about romanian street kids living in a subway station.

they were so strong
so hard
and so small

it was fucking amazing.
and the words:

there but for the grace of god go i

have woven themselves
around and around
the images i still have in my head from
last night
from all the nights they have lived
and from all the nights
i have ever had.

shivers make them wild
uncontroled
