2014, 7*, Batman, branches, buildings, cape, city, cornice, cowl, dawn, dichotomy, edge, facade, identity, leaves, light, moon, rooftops, shadow, silhouette, silver, sky, streetlamp, streets
above the edges of rooftop
are ever silhouettes
of taller building and watery tower
by the light of the silvery moon
sometimes hanging upside down
will be the Batman
cape hanging uselessly, otherwise
he may stand on cornice
and look down on a street lit by lamp
and throw shadow
over the whole façade – impasse between
moon and lamp –
the eternal dichotomy;
outside the city the detail is in the sky
between branch and leaf
and as dawn approaches the cowl
and the cape
will come off

Batman wormhole: Infantino / district of Gotham
branches & shadow wormhole: such such potential
buildings wormhole: windows // and balconies
city & rooftops wormhole: ‘charcoal grey-slate sky …’
dawn wormhole: every step I take
identity wormhole: circuitry
leaves wormhole: walk from Castleton to Hope
light wormhole: the evening
moon wormhole: that comicbookshop … // … in dreams
silhouette wormhole: ‘avenue of wraggled gorse tops …’
silver wormhole: garden
sky wormhole: forgotten anything
streetlight wormhole: faintly apricot air?
streets wormhole: place

But where, oh where, is Robin? Dozing in that nest between branch and leaf while batman hangs? Til dawn when all is lost or saved or both?

so, you see, Robin never really existed as a separate entity (even though he was portrayed as such – but did you never notice, he never grew up for decades), he’s really Batman’s own stolen childhood – abandoned when Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed, taken along for the ride when Batman did the grown up things; Robin’s really there all the time, but you can’t see him – why do you think Batman is hanging upside down?

You have pulled the cowl back from my eyes. Brilliant! Another friend would say that Batman is really a bossy billionaire playboy who beats up people struggling with mental illnesses. Hanging upside down is really his way of viewing the world.
