18th July 2018

"Jackyard Backoff" (detail)
occluded sunshine
clouds renege on promises
at least it's cooler

council houses
back onto the cemetery
I'm almost jealous.
Still they're being built cheaply
breeze-block walls covered in shingle
each house
separated buy a gap too small
for a dog to turn around in.
"Four new houses" claim the headlines
as they're built next to the private ones
each with four times the footprint.
Still, the alternative was traveller parking
but the locals appealed:
it would impact the local business
of Rufford Close drug dealers.
