dunedin #2

fire
infesting my outhouses
dark
cutting off tiny slices of the
land
footpaths
you can walk as much as stand
angels
as much as i can comprehend

shadows escape a laugh
far from what I'm hearing
walls are breaking children fleeting
women tearing through my art
makes my heart

at every chilling street end
every brick wall soul she can deplete
breaking every promise
sharing all my secrets
never stutter on a sentence

pestering
shadow lady barbed wire fences
pay the meter man daily for
scarfie flats also there's the rent
a nurturing chill

runs up my soul
to leave this dream I'm in
there's a fire in my conscience
must be dunedin
