& homosexual slayings
a Torrens of brown nostalgia
Orthodoxy soul deep

poor Catholic west
rich Proddy east
a Belfast fought with
eyebrows and surnames

Helpmann got Smart
& got out early

the tacit war against women:
but she asked for it
is a defence behind
a single front sandstone

where young women
turn in to their mothers at 30

Monet Sundays last three months or more.

Leave town for good.
