white flowers greyed brick;
porcelain Venus; dog
breathing heavily,
collapsing; creeper
over walls; voices
on a weak loudspeaker
van between cars;
automated distaste bad style,
she says, increasingly,
I hear voices,
repetition of
the obvious footholds
in a failing cliff, high
speed down hill, a broken
arbour, desolate fields,
inspection plate, man
with a machine gun, buried
cables, burst communications,
a paint pot rusty
from rain, dry now;
another tipped on its
side, a smile indicating
trust, implying it
at least, an indicative
mutter, pardon is self-
conscious defensive
aggression held back;
a small periscope;
muffled voices calm;
complete solutions;
men with triumphant
faces, gesturing
in motion, displays
flickering, capital
expenditure loose;
a typhoon of inner
ear, petals unfolding
from covered faces;
circumnavigation
of bare electric wires
