Northern Town

The valley is gone

but as it fades it seeks the sun

one last long look with resentment

river now calm

and as the last drunk stands

the fish stare at him

please open up the fields

i'd like to see the core

imagine open space

collective hysteria

for what if not civilised

red carpets to distinct cultures

turn me on

display yourself right at the front

please press delete when the water starts

to wire

to exit

commotion underestimates

time in these moments

reconcile pledges

turn many breaths away

now freeze up home

the lake is still right here up north

based on home spun intelligence

deliberately destroyed in capsules
