Pesky houseflies craving salt on a brow.

There is a word for my condition,

But I won’t find it and cure myself.

There is a condition for my words

Spread slap-dash method on a palette

Governed by mood, governed in turn

By shape-shift focus as if that imagined

Rose of Toulouse with a city mix of sweets,

Grime and sirens, could ever be real.

Housed in cardboard shelters on artificial hills

Of a city’s fuming rubbish, and for my children

Whose gleeful faces rise in bubbles containing

Sky and everything underneath, as they sail
