    the gravefitsmy bodywell.

    it’s slightlyconcavedue to the coffinrotting down.

    there’s an indentout of the wind,and by 10 amthe sun is overthe estate agents’building,warming my spotfor sleep.

    later in the day,breakfastwas a can of lager,and last nighta litre of vodka.

    i’m lost.

    It’s a Sunday,andi’m close to you,and my spittleis in yourface.

    It’s October.

    the air is clearcold and freshthe sky a pastel bluefading at the edges

    the shadows ofpassing peoplelong and strong

    street signs stretchtheir shadowsacross the roadlosing their shape

    i stop at the Buttercross.

    And Smack head Samis sat.

    ‘It comes to find you,’he says.
