From the home counties to the ‘Red Wall’,
Cornish riviera to Teesside marina
the accession should be destroyed
given way to rabbits.
Centrepoint broke by downdraft
where the fountains were
removed The Concrete Society
gone underground brand engagement
platforms annulled basking spots
in the Outernet incopads gauze
Tricorn blood makes no noise
Paco Rabanne 1 Million walk-in JumboLand
Air Conditioned Nightmare,
where I ate your withered tie
with Amarone & vetched Gillespies
poured poppies down my briefs
at the Naval & Military Club
Long Bar sangfroid bombed
as transmetropolitan Pink Gin
runs out my mouth welt,, the cities shoulder
wends to my cotched head
henbanes to tree-lines.
British Transport Police Mosaics
cerulean Amytheus cut vitrified
ceramics nerve city quarter peals away
in empty Quaver packets of Bloomberg’s pantry
namelorn quiltpoisons RP’d in catarrh gilets
a breadcrumb trail laid across Moorfields
in the arms of business
& Sixtus Dominic Bonifaces
would hold the annual coconuts shy
on the bowls pitch
all would be burning
the European Maritime Safety Agency
manifesto proud as Judges which live on fire.
Loitering air piss sunk like ancient corners
flint parsed national jeremiads, you surrender
ghost-catching spectres & occult thievery
on the premises of the Federationist League
fugued signs of stolen municipal chairs
extracted the critical fronds around themselves
framed wet-winged broods
on bin-bags the living raking thin
low resolution mirrors
thresholds injured slow curdle
the starlings of newly widened centre arches
& pavement of City Roads its agoraphobia,
forged the inmost epistle flax, shareholders children
watch as they start carving up
the Ossulton Estate double-helix
crick shaped, the function room into flats
& 275 tonnes of Westmorland Green slate
painted Vanta black.
