ticker tape welcome
a four-corner cordon
a tremulous tangle
a tanoy recollection
traffic diverted for
recent servile converts
sirens – symphonies of sirens
rain falls softly in deceit...
radars crackle lifeless
a coat of protective grease
tapped scanners crackle
a wind lifts the skeleton leaves
satellite – track our misfortune
send a light to find lost details
tower blocks cast shadows
blueprints buried with the corpses
snapped wires writhe electricity;
dirt-worms in wet ecstasy
i.d. relinquished
forego the trial
notebook corpse synopsis
a cartographer's dream
butterfly wings like violins;
empire's crumble – killers preen…
