churn of detail:
an incomplete
sequence: grass
releasing buttercups,
60s grids
slackening to visible
kitsch, the town's
strained name
breaking greys
against turquoises,
khakis; a red
jacket drifting,
inhabited or abandoned
on a verge; scattered
concretes flower to glass-
sharded images
sloping against stained
air; tourists'
eyes fire
vanishing points of no
convergence:
stay, at the repetitive
edges of
what: shops
stopped wasplike
in amber-
glassed sunsets, veiled
glances stuttering the dust
of a flipbook
of tarmac, wooden
expanses slatted
with light, chipping
to sun's underlying
diagonals; celluloid
strata of a place-
name's fades
