The wet street--an invoked night sky.
The night city, aglow and slick
pavement, mirror, the way a cloudless
view of stars should blow from a storm.
Above, there is concrete. I love
an inversion.

Drunk as a turned tuning fork.

A backpacker's bed in Exeter.
Cat of smell cricked around my back
neck, tasting a recent guest.
So I spoke. Instead of breathing.
Pushed out, out that first take.
Made a fold in my bed. A triangle in linen.
Placing my lips around your phone.

How more like life, than to walk
on a crust of ice. Snow,
the dissembled puzzle--
refrozen, at its almost last life.
Once came soft, then together--
then, the breaking of a stanza.

--cracking, the pale ground,
not quite earth.
To walk, with flat, snake, feet,
on the crispest dirt.

Under snowfall, the sky lit
as an eerie summer day.
Where you may lay in that sepia noon,
this was our evening, pushed upside--
to the sky, instead of from it.

The course wind from the underground--
up by the esculators, flooding with refuse from below,
onto the upper streets. Terrible, hovercraft fans,
still, now, but in summer,
push even human waste, exude-vapour,
up onto an incinderary city. --Pushes,
and nods to the sky's great (secret) vacuum.

I've missed the rain in London
--and this is not a reminice.
It has been a dry-powder-
air--fine, clustered pollen.
I sneeze! on clean air.

The train was delayed for a swan on the line.
