Famous Blue Raincoat.

breadcrumb trail through the treacle
never got that vasty view
from the trapdoor vertigo
trapdoor vertigo
now i imagine monsters

monsters in the blanks blatant
minstrelsy blinds
minstrelsy blinds
this street strung with gallow trees
rimmed by pale cerulean

& strident ruses
strident ruses
breadcrumb trail through the treacle

Dallas' Left Bank.

"The Wrecks

Offshore, sea beached these wrecks, their ribs
picked clean by seasons of salt, and here
the raping wave is master at last.

No bell is burial. Shag and gull
preach their heresies over the drowned
and foundered derelicts no one mourns."
