AK Blakemore - Panama

Panama
AK Blakemore

the bass rig parked up outside the National Gallery
this plaque part of town! anarchy flag brushing the nose
of Delacroix’s mad lion.

they played “Out of Space” by The Prodigy
and i danced against you smelling grass
the education bloc lost

one thousand lives & one thousand lives
more...

what can we do?
wanna pool in your lap like moonlight
want you like a scorpion down my shirt.
