BETWEEN

between

gods
old paper
mumbo

off
white
hospital
walls

the pantomime 
bipolar
cage fights
in
parliament

and the eternal
daily
slap
of
laborious metabolising

doves collect twigs
for new nests

cats hide
from imagined thunder

black faced gulls 
look out in silence
from tv eaves
masked like mimes

then
a 
10 min monsoon

wet sock
