Smell

The bottom pixie
for all to see
blows his trumpet

I'd had him gagged
but what the hell

Spit Spat

Something about demolition
means I don't continue
from where I left off
not straight away
not linear

Recreant

This town stinks
Full of jelly-backed alliances
Mince pies on a baking tray
cool on the window sill

Faint

It's easier to talk about the easy things
direct / before you're gone
The layered stuff might take time
might slow you down
