From the corner
It is from the corner

the product of the sum
of the gospel?
It must have been the day

Elephant in the Room
First published in 'The Rialto'.
You don’t belong here,
where the rain stripes the walls
in the beige of disappointment.
I’ve locked up the goodies:
the pills, the rope, the razors –
