this show of fire
glaring through another

skull and crossbones
tribute to Ray Warner?

and ate satsumas.’

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Some of you once jumped the walls
in balaclavas, then sat in peace
to remove the masks
and go through turnstiles in reverse.

En masse: murder of crows.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Now emerging in ones and twos
like stray bobbers on wood
split from the raft:
a shimmer, a tune
