by September the leaves
are browning and dry
if not caught by cobble
and drain leaving branches
to reach and twist in all
consequence; is the bigger
picture really worth more
than lodging, release and the
muffled glass echoes of
occasional compassion
the gnashing below the
startled eyes suggest yes,
the lines of three four
storey houses in rows
cast doubt in passing;
is purpose only outside
and love only in, is the knife
or the coming century enough;
the dash is magnificent
the shadow grotesque
askance from chapter eight of From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
a little snippet from askance From Hell, askance from chapter ten of From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, gwn’n’avvalook
