Air Threat
The space outside
grows too dangerous to tolerate
too frightening to explore.
It has been poisoned.
There was a time when danger
threatened only across deep water
but now no longer.
All the systems, the traceries,
the capillaries
are fracturing
right here on the doorstep
a degeneration
working its way
into the mortar
into the brain.
The air between us
is disintegrating.
Do you not see it breaking up ?
The door blows open.
The lie walks in.

Street Safety
Our houses stand like a coast of sheer cliff
granite and immoveable.
But they are just targets
there to be hit.
It is words that will stand true
words that can’t
be blown away
words charged
and pulsating
that will light our street.
