Under the Bridge

with the pigeons and seepage
waiting

waiting for rain to pass
in shorts and T-shirt
thinking 'bout alien

or some such
inch-wide tubes
locked into digestive

play free
play wild
who not to be

explainers
stage managers
suffer the lost

and found
the night
so unglamorous

Coloured strips of plastic
drop off the door curtain
get picked up and tied to trees

They move in the wind
but I am still
on edge
up through gorse
to cliff side
lie
gaze

wait
