Flash
flooding
(for the IWD Salon Newcastle organisers George Woods and Trish Pender)
George Clooney misses
Jose Ferrer more
than you do I guarantee
he tells Amal I wish
the twins had met
that old Jose
show me those
old movies of us
joking at the slippery dip
back when tartan rayon
was the only school in town
my blood seeks all the
blood in you
remembering
five girls
Nanna throwing broken
furniture and rubbish
out the windows
to the canal at the first sign
of the rains
flash floods they probably
don’t happen
anymore not in Tempe
come on girls
she’d say
let’s get going
my blood seeks all the
ReplyDeleteblood in you
when tartan rayon
was the only school in town
!
and isn't that all the time?
