                in clear oil air

                the sky is always
                mauve
                the buildings
                purple

                the Boy Wonder
                with glass eyes
                points away

                to the Batsignal
                the Batman
                holds the steering wheel
                staring ahead

                the light gleams
                over his oily skin
                and fleshface

                anyway

                                                                                    1996 dream

 

wandering through Eglinton Hill
finding rooms going down into
                the ‘breakfast room’
                                – the morning room –
which was bigger and bay-windowed

                looking through the windows
there was an abandoned psychiatric hospital next door
                                run down
                a huge monolithic building
                                thousands of bricks
                                windows fallen out
                grass growing in and on the building
off the end of the building a series of huge arches
                like viaducts now collapsing
                a last arch had collapsed and only extended for half its reach
                                but right at its end stood a huge construction crane
                rising high up into the sky
                                reaching further out with its arm
                                perched on the end of the arch
                                                              reaching
                it should crumble
                and fall
but it doesn’t

                           breathing
                           through her mouth

                           head
                           bent from the shoulders

                           the last
                           piece of fluff
                           from her toe
                           was cleaned
                           then –

                           the foot
                           thwacked
                           on the floor
