dreams-of-sepiaPoems
German rye bread & Chinese green tea each turn of the knife each touch of the kettle & you send signs to the neighbors the heavens above a tapestry of eyes salt water & tears & your knees shaking in little earthquakes Fly the flag higher Britishness is an art in Earl Grey & crumpets & mad hatter days boasting of kisses in mad houses kisses you've never had or else someone you shagged but once senseless & beaming letters to Keats & always, always maps of the Empire some builder nostalgic for old might & power & ships on the Thames like in the old paintings.
