\u201cChris Torrance is out of Tupi \u2013 kicks a ball
\nup against a wall. He\u2019s gone, out of county
\nTupi – kicks a ball up against a wall. Listless
\ncity – own wash water god \u2013 ain\u2019t no jungle
\nmonk at all. So call out the weather guard,
\nshe\u2019ll come and take him home. Please you
\ncall out Yara \u2013 the weather guard \u2013 she to
\ncome and reach him home. Out the agri
\nbusiness \u2013 to the Buddhas, the deepens and
\nthe stone\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe red + green rushes wildly when you
\nleave the house, can never leave the mass
\nthe rushes, never stop the hour discourse of
\nplants, or control a glass that shines on a
\nhuman mind that is no different. But one
\nfears totalitarian nature, it has ruined the
\ntown. And it is right to feel swayed + ill
\nwhen you go to the house, through the
\nrushes + all the animals are red\/green in a
\nghost mind, comes birthing\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe valley sin a mask. Glacier clay in a mask,
\ntrying hard to push it words out toward an
\ninterlocuter \u2013 from behind the sun dog who
\nfarm it. Watch it at home, when you\u2019re tired
\nafter work, when you\u2019re having some time
\naway from the kids. I know the name of the
\nsinger, the stoneman of a horse \u2013 and she
\nwill sing and dance for you. Directs of the
\nvalley, striate the horse\u2019s house \u2013 a woman
\nin mascara\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019d we address the problem of
\nrepentance in nature? Is it really sorry?
\nThe yellowhammer, the hawthorn, bracken \u2013
\nwhat bits do we cut? Questions Chris
\nTorrance never got to: how to turn the great
\nplace round. Of the candle fire, to write for
\nthe stream prebendary shallow + gone \u2013 a
\nthing burning + transformative. Have seen
\nthe priest in its capsule. Up to late
\nhaymaking, a seed in prayer\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou lost your record – Lamb dives, queen
\nwasp flops. Little exemplar animal of sport.
\nIs in my dark thoughts; someone\u2019s come in,
\nfrankly better than you + you\u2019re burnt out.
\nWere the coldest saint in May, icy face
\nlooked from the stadium walls at the people
\nas they push in to get the spring, event,
\nfrom one foot to the other spring, through
\nthe air, no longer yours, carry mercy the
\ngame that melts\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to sleep. Thought of the field at
\nthe end of my road, used to play there as a
\nchild. Could remember it exactly. Chomping
\naway. What faculty of the brain gave it back
\nto me? this ghost to my attention \u2013 what is
\nmy intention? All them letters that have
\ncome out of my mouth in time \u2013 transitional
\nforms, word in my sharp teeth as I lie a-bed.
\nLess than the boy. Less. than a field\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDisordered, the word – bombing from
\nheight the still recognisable grass, is legal.
\nAn accelerated descent. Bill\u2019s Lion
\nconstantly goes back to the battlefield,
\nblock cawing for his mum, who\u2019s been
\nstruck. His grief comes as a continuous
\nnoise, characteristic of music, but
\nrecognisable in a far greater narrative of the
\nearth scars, pattern moving outside in pitch,
\nrhythm. Form. Denaturing him\u201d<\/p>\n
