DEAL
Rachel Chanter
September and praying away the ringlight glare of summer O unmaking of me, o rictus
of fume The midjourney plasticity of the hot city retreats, now the creeping saint of
the new season claws at the space under the door But today is a camera mounted on
a falling object, so the world turns around it, fulcrum of happiness, cockle-sweet after
the jumperless days in which my callousness has surprised me A week of stunning heat,
then the weather breaks over the coast like the feeling returning to a limb, the first drops
hitting the asphalt of England The offshore windfarm is a distant Avalon, greyed with
grape-bloom horizon and a peace so complete descends that no question troubles
me, not even how long will you love me, not even how many days like this do we have
left to us.
