the manesment ruins
the eldorado of adventures in the
deserted ruins of the manesment works
levelled walls and filled-in pits
except
the office and lab block
that waited the crane’s ball
tomorrow
but today we were the wreckers
playing out every cowboy film
and war film’s finalé
oh yes we did
you name it we destroyed it
windows light globes chairs
fire extinguishers
and then the lab
with its frankenstein mixing
of every vitriol known to man
and daemon alike
oh boy yes we did
and it blew a hole in my memory
that no abandon could ever fill
and we cheated death
by climbing the rickety stairs
higher than sense
oh yes we did
