My own way home

It isn't a wilderness
with this edged river
of diluted vitriol

Rough kids' feet
dip in

At the bridge
nun in mufti
tries to smile




What are tiny crushed-face dogs for?




red
brick
clock
death
drop

fixity

reg stitching

polished
tick tock





Jasmine sex
trails about
the physics block




Not starts but
pristine befores




These are the clean
and legitimate boys and girls

Non-joke looks are key shaped
as in in

This one's crying herself
to raw peeled face




Muirhead Tower done up
to neutered politesse

Way back when the glass sheets fell
cutting up silly ways (so they said)




Godlike I ride a Raleigh Ace (steel framed)
red as lid shy sunburnt eyes




Let the hunch back lecturer be
a marker for pre-ended history




A hole in the fence is one way through
figured with
involuntary
memo ghosts

and insect thick
and lovely dark
