A paean to my hometown. Or to the nearest big city anyway.
Red dawn over the bus stop Red dawn over the sari shop Red dawn over the counter Red dawn over the Sea Life Centre Red dawn over the red wall The grey canal, the pool hall The forlorn stray football Lost of the last half day of school Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over red eyes The highrise and the lowrise Red dawn over the mayor Red dawn over Victoria Square Red dawn over the token grass The godforsaken underpass The scene of scattered broken glass Splattered with thrown up madras Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over the kitchen sink Over the closed down ice rink Red dawn over the overflow Red dawn over New Town Row Red dawn over the welcome mat The bedsit and the three room flat The office without chitchat Full of high-tech this and that Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over the new day Red dawn over the railway Red dawn over the bar Red dawn over Rent A Car Red dawn over the cul-de-sac The caravan, the roof rack The sleeper, the insomniac The pauper’s grave, the blue plaque Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over Five Ways Red dawn over the next phase Red dawn over the cash machine Red dawn over the multi-screen Red dawn over clubland The warehouse with the contraband Red dawn over the bandstand Red dawn girl holding her own hand Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over the torn bill The lone seagull on the landfill Picking at the espadrille Sticking out of the iron grill Red dawn over the QE Red dawn over the ICC Red dawn over the cricket ground Over the body yet to be found Red dawn over The Iron Man Red dawn over Birmingham Red dawn over Birmingham And her face came close to his in the half-light She licked her lips which made his feel anaemic and thin And the word eviscerated came into his head Her teeth gleamed through full, slightly parted lips And the sweet-sour scent of her breath still burned a hole Red dawn over Birmingham And her watching it through parted curtains She saw someone running A girl like herself with jutting shoulderblades A girl like herself as she used to be Running from the red dawn through the red dawn Red dawn over a frozen river Four hundred and forty one thousand years ago Red dawn over a Roman fort One thousand nine hundred and fifty years ago Red dawn over Birmingham One hundred and six years ago Red dawn over Birmingham This morning
