The End

The ending

A slag heap collapsed with the speed of a Mercedes
with two batteries hurtling down a motorway in 
an industrial landscape, grey as a Vera’s lonely life 
amid crime and poverty.
On a night like this, how is it possible not to despair
battling a mass of sluggish dreams of endless harms
in a world bent on nuclear destruction.
