Wearing out

Sadly resigned

---

Open the window - pain blows in
and hangs down like a bag
to join the others, suck my side.

Edible darkness: controller
of all the red and silver trolleybuses.
Coins tossed down at crossroads
to fin which way to go.

Power - naked power - oozes
from apertures, from plugholes
in the wall.
Symbols of insect invasion.
Hydro-electricity burns blue.
