You wore a mask for protection.
The virus slipped through the holes, into your holes.
Spread.
Your symptoms progressed as you kept on the mask.
Before you were here under quarantine, your last status update read ‘not today virus!’
I don't write. I create.

Cut me now.
Cut me quick.
Let me sleep.
Let me slip.

I saw the bee.
I called the bee.
It stung me. It died.
Crow ate the bee; he flew up high and shitted into the left eye of your new bitch.

Unique has no one.
All she has is a diary, a pen and an idea.
Unique has no one.
All she has is that foul ball of feathers.
That rotten shadow of evil.
Unique is pathetic.
I mean, who do you know hangs around with birds?
Unique is useless; all she does is post a poem a day on WordPress.
But who reads her shit?
Unique is a stupid bitch.
Beyond the rants of hidden figures, a lone crow waits in silence, all you hear is his tiny heartbeat. His sapphire blue eyes twinkle outside the bedroom window of one. With his beak, he cuts through the double window pane. The occupant throws a copy of Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes at Crow, they shake and explain, ‘it’s all for social media! I do it for likes! I love Unique, I do.’
Crow glides across to the occupant’s desk and states, ‘only the unbelieving would be so ridiculous to make such comments.’ The occupant apologises profusely, but Crow proceeds to prove his point.
‘Unique has me!’ Crow declares as he slowly carves around the iris of the lone occupant.
‘Unique has me!’ Crow whispers as he jabs deeply into the inner thighs of the occupant.
‘Unique has me!’ Crow sings while scratching the knees of the occupant.

Sing sweet nightingale sing.
Ssh!
Crow prefers silence.
I warn you. Crow does not like sweet sounds.
Quiet silent nightingale.
R.I.P

I’ve always wanted a boyfriend.
Yes, a boyfriend. Just one.
I get one.
We click.
Something and something.
We split.
But that’s not the end of it.
He wants to come back.
I say, no!
I say, maybe?
I say, yes.
Sex takes me out into our universe.
You are my universe.
I love our universe.
You fill only 70% of the void.
I need another.
Boyfriend.

You think about me.
You think about me.
You’re tempted to text.
You’re tempted to call.
You daydream about me.
You dream about me.

Crow bought home a large box.
Added his homemade bagels to the box.
Sprinkled herb crust in the box.
Hopped around happy by the box.
Screamed at the box.
Rubbed on the box.
Purred by the box.
Confided some wet dreams to the box.
Added his shit to the box.
Laughed at the box.
Then stared at the box, until it caught flame and burnt down to nothing.
He explained, ‘Unique, I needed to clear my mind.’
I couldn’t shout at Crow. The box was pink, who likes pink?
Once the ashes had cooled down, I swept up the remnants of the box, scattering them into my velvet blue Dulux Box.

I saw the moon.
The stars.
The light.
The sun.
I saw your life, the moment life begun.
I never feared your growth from within.
I scorned the life that society places us in.
Way back then I saw the sun.
The light.
The stars all around.
The moon.
Shining intensely, deeply into the ground. Where you rest in peace.
Crow.

Sunday night and they sleep on.
Unique in her warm bed, sapphire blue bedsheets.
Crow rests on the highest shelf, beside a copy of War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
He hasn’t yet read all of it, but the word ‘WAR’ excites him.
Unique is exhausted.
Crow has been asleep since 15:03

Unique’s Song
Unique & Crow, like to sing, every day, in fact.
Unique thinks she sounds like Mariah Carey, Crow thinks she sounds like trash.
Listen…
‘Red, yellow, green.’
‘Blood, bananas, broccoli.’
‘Green, purple, black.’
‘Puss, bruises, rats.’
‘Black, pink, white.’
‘Scabs, flesh, die!’
‘White, blue, orange.’
‘Coffin, eyes, LUNCH!’
Crow flew on the bronze fruit-bowl and devoured two oranges.
