The constellations in the Roman night sky,
celestial spectators, bathe the Colosseum
in the white blood of light
The night is throbbing with the heat of our battle,

‘Fume, where are you going?’
‘To the town of a...

Air space between the lovers’ arc and shallow graves.
The tangible singsong...

Whitechapel, London 1888Wanton women of Whitechapel
Desperate and destitute
Weakened from want
Shrunken stomachs barren of bread
Dying from disease in dingy dosshouses
Selling themselves on the streets for shillings
to buy beer, a bed for the night
or a bonny new bonnet
to enable...

Reason Without Rhyme

I used to be averse
to free verse,
