A walk through the city
Sunlight edge
And the cymbal crash
Follow the burning signs
The trail of bullets
The embers dying
Discarded shoe
Like an open mouth
A burn on the pavement
A house
Containing three children
Flashes once
And is gone
A single robbery
Somewhere a man
Is carving himself
To death
For food
Day like an open wound
In the instant of the newsflash
In the terror of the merchant
In the gleam of the coin
The child's eye
It occurs at gunpoint
The barrel
Laid across the heart
Murder, the judgement
Assault
With a lethal instrument
The whole city staked out
With eyes
Like a giant crystal
Catching the angles of light
The city borders the skin

A walk through the city

Like a giant crystal
Catching the angles of light
The city borders the skin
