Belmont Vista

Belmont wallows in westering 

twilight, sheep graze in cold 

pastures, hares scamper, 

ignoring a circling hawk.


Blackpool's urban sprawl crawls off 

up to the scarred horizon, the Tower* 

pricks the heavens like a syringe, 

spilling the blood-red sun.


Evening falls, I'm all alone

and free to stare,  

a wondrous, star-flecked firmament,

a phosphorescent flare!
