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
