Exorcism 1 ~ Mission Bay

Exorcism 1 ~ Mission Bay
for Alistair Campbell

Rangitoto

Giant breast

Nibbled by OK’s

And Lasers

You hide from me

The horizon

Grey Easter

And my resurrection

Is memories

You playing, mad dogs

And never a care

In late autumn

In the sad sea

Tide racing west

Five days with your Frenchman

Your almost week

Left me all

Most weak

And in two bloodred years

Again

This time the racer

Dinner (sweet times)

And run away again

Another nail

I also spent the afternoon

Watching the sparrows on the wall

Joined with a lover

In waiting

What price do we place

On the destruction

Of memories

Mission Bay

15 April, 1979
