Neuro Logical
A memory divided - Helen Bowie
the heady summers of 2005
to the bitter winters of 2007
the oscillating in the midst
a wallflower in the underpass,
comforting myself with fresh blacklists
the convex mischief-maker
tearing my tights on bombweed
Tish, love you always xxxxx
council-issued beige
hunkered inside the tunnel
the graffiti
for vanity and for safety
highroad from the rails,
splattered, grimace
brown with disillusionment
keys between fingers,
and the symbolic divide between opulence and survival
