ALONE IN THE BACK CAFE
back room, barlight, skeins of shadows
strimming shadowland, crowd of eejits
silly fiddly dee music, windys busted thru
a million bricks and bombblasts.
pockmarked walls and faces.
windmilling moon, stars, sawdust
thrown up in an unsavoury place
blood, bullets, ash, cinders, rust
like a penny thrown into the air
falling cinders, stars, windmilling
giants not windmills, tuppeny pints.
an air from a Weill\Brecht collaboration
fragments of Seargent Pepper.
song, star, windless night
Brecht, Beatles, endless night
caught on the windmill time
lights! shadows strim
hearts made from straw dance on the glass - time!
