Monday 11 January, 2010 in Steve Willey I, or track-dredged muted shiverer
blade of countless buzz-toned politick
mowed by censure mowed by gaskets
has nailed the tongue on street's apostasy
patient silent rain balms road
from high skylines hems of bees
when police lines,
loop to pool
tonsils undo throats.
rainbows loop into the smashing puddles
where one bird dips our neck to sing, cop
sirens in long yelping island grasses
the violent inside four pallid walls,
sterilised or swarmed up bees and rattles
through the nettle kettles forming
dressing metallic undulated sheers
kick mouths wide open as the swing door's violet
sky, a consensus spills out slow into the slow
wet street. It was New Year and we
were locked in.
