[photograph: Jack Ross (2006)]The Asbestos Hands of Dr. J.
The sparrow inside
my letterbox
hopped out
when he caught my eye
•
Patron Saint
Atticus
Memorial Day
6 November
Martyred in Phrygia
Nothing else
is known about him
•
3 in the morning
mosquito-net
tangled
around me
car-alarms
still howling
overhead
I tot up
the crapola
that I’ve written
Not a lot
to kindle
when I’m dead
