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
