Busk

Down the steps Futurist legs
Kids eat chips in the sun
18 carat rings and watches
Alarmed glass. ‘Is it real?’
‘I saw her move!’

Why had she chosen the thinker pose?
The sense of confinement
constriction in the chest
Cramp in the fist
She could watch the coins.

Coal tar soap and olive oil
Fingernails and hairline
It comes off grey / Out
Did you think she was looking at you?
Stretching her eyes around the room.
