Poem – Nicola Easthope

 

Man at the kerb

The longest road the hottest tar the fish mouth before gulls

the heart attacks the heat deafens the trembling

the flying in the face the pockmarks pooling 

the squint the lean the chancing on

the slap of the thigh the swoop at the glint the red box gold foil 

the rattle of butts the flick the short beak.
