Attic

This one speaks for itself...

So from this attic
window
which has
 spectacularviewsacrossthecity

I have watched
fireworks

and have seen

a rabbit
escape its hutch

magpies

newly released
homing pigeons
fearful of flight
populating the roof opposite

a blow-job

(I was surprised, too)
  
the consumption by fire
of a storehouse

the consumption by fire
of a tyre dump

an elderly Asian woman
in her kitchen
combing her long grey hair
while upstairs
her balding husband gets into bed


and the young man
- whose job was blown -
climb out of his attic dormer
and urinate on the roof


a velux on the world.
