in all day = rain dread =
i sink into sleep =
yes i am lonely as steel &
didn’t shoot my girlfriend
or plant the bomb or climb
the roof of the old fire station
on new year’s eve
nor kiss Celia on Western beach
or rescue the cat from his rat poison =
around me a long low horizon
like a oiled noose on pharoah’s penis
stone-dead on the seabed near Southport.
