primal cave
warm
coals glow
in an iron grate
dream lives flicker
in dancing flames
hatches battened
around the ramparts
of terraced council home
droplets run
on window panes
coursing rivers
to the sea
we are alone
suspended natural animation
with only ourselves
to blame

of terraced council home

on window panes
coursing rivers

we are alone
suspended natural animation
with only ourselves
to blame
