where [bad word] and, memories go
to the globe of darkness
turned a smoked window
into the eye
of my anger
at being dragged
into an arena

the November men
and, the winds around
observe this day
of crystal sound
aesthetics imposed
apologies surpassed
manoeuvring evenings
of broken glass

and, [bad word] pay
and, [bad word] stay
under the axe
of a burnt-out day
and, [bad word] pay
and, [bad word] stay
under the axe
of a burnt-out day...
