scaled out, comma


The wind dropped, the wind got up, the wind blew, hammered, it caught me off-guard, subsided, the ribbons snagged in the branches, desolate play area

tyre place

drizzled, grey street corner, they gathered round the corpse

wet mouth, paddler
wave flared, sea defences,
sprayed a cloud, there, with arc shimmer in it

universe

tram signal, Do not cross,

after it dried
barracks, boarding-houses
a toughened glass beaker, hand-towel, beeswax
rumianek.   Roman chamomile.   German chamomil

market, vane

casual migrant
journeyman day labourer
freed thrall
non-resident
pedlar, pest, scam

the sign, still

our head-scarves
exchanged babies, operas

traffic constellation grade
shouted over the music

double-breasted suit
gentleman's outfitters, gartered
pastry-cook, shipping agent

On the jetty. From what distance?
accepted muddy whelks, dogs, motorboat,
wrecks, urchins

stamped his maker's mark
coffee

in talks, health-conscious, shortcomings, insistence: fruit punch, leather punch, threw a punch

the name on the street

outskirts
back  of a chair, panties, sixty seconds
confiture

the great majority

here the stars wheel, banks recede
Compilation, Vol. 1

tear-streaked
shone
arrack
punsch




stale air
the man I knew
 wasn't looking so well
the gulls cried at the window

he could

bucked

some fine-milled source of the cod field

I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing dear but you

look away from the electrodes
Arthur's hill town, trombone

green with dew

big bass drum

look so

martinet, Martindale, martini



the terrace the names
finery
puff of dry soil

restricted space, open 

neckerchief
carpenter pencil

Come on
come and play
there's an aeroplane
make another cloud
make a big cloud
put it in outer space
we're doing a great job
come and dig more mud
