1960s, 2013, 5*, Batman, city, despair, Gotham City, horizon, Infantino, issue, light, patio, perspective, pose, rooftops, sky, society

                when issue mounts to despair
                people stand in theatre-pose

                                              on wide open patio with
                                              receding perspective

                                high above the city
                                amid rooftop and skylight

                                                              but then there is always
                                                              uptown on the horizon

in the Infantino
district of Gotham

 

in 1964 Carmine Infantino was brought in to give the Batman character a new look and Gotham became a city you could sit at a cafe terrace in – what, you mean …

                                               on the raised patio reading Plath

                                               silent-echoing clouds fast overhead
                                               nothing drew me quick to fixedlook
                                               over my shoulder – dark red copper
                                               leaf and branch reaching long from
                                                            an aqua-glazed pot

Castleton wormhole: the straight line of stones marking the geometry / of death / settle all their own levels over time to make / a new rhythm
clouds wormhole: Hypnopompia
garden wormhole: H e a v e
looking & passing wormhole: Brugges April 2015 – looking lost
reading wormhole: Desolation Angels
red wormhole: ‘the red and white …’

Sylvia Plath wormhole: thar she perched
