the seagull smashes against the glass
it’s all just energy anyway we wait
for news to come in lines repeated
on the screen what information
remains broken wings & faded frames
behind your eyes your eyes
the ones in black eyeliner repeated remain
the seagull smashes against the glass
it’s all just energy anyway today
we waited for love like spiders
at the traffic lights at the tramway station
beneath the dumb power of buildings
the noise of all our occupation waiting
we in darkness flail not for light but oxygen
follow footsteps left to be scrubbed away
behind your eyes waves are raging you
expect some other kind of weather
the shape of your breasts showing
through your summer dress worn & faded
the seagull smashes against the glass
it’s all just energy anyway in lines repeated on the screen what information
remains today we waited
for the news to come waited
with women weeping in the jet trails
the men crushed in contemplation
for the doves to fall the flexiplex to break
for the outside to come crashing in
