  1. And, out of nothing, a breathing,
  2. hot breath on my ankles,
  3. Beasts like shadows in glass,
  4. a furred tail upon nothingness.
  5. Lynx-purr, and heathery smell of beasts,
  6. where tar smell had been,
  7. Sniff and pad-foot of beasts,
  8. eye-glitter out of black air.
  9. The sky overshot, dry, with no tempest,
  10. Sniff and pad-foot of beasts,
  11. fur brushing my knee-skin,
  12. Rustle of airy sheaths,
  13. dry forms in the æther.
  14. And the ship like a keel in ship-yard,
  15. slung like an ox in smith's sling,
  16. Ribs stuck fast in the ways,
  17. grape-cluster over pin-rack,
  18. void air taking pelt.
  19. Lifeless air become sinewed,
  20. feline leisure of panthers,
  21. Leopards sniffing the grape shoots by scupper-hole,
  22. Crouched panthers by fore-hatch,
  23. And the sea blue-deep about us,
  24. green-ruddy in shadows,

I wondered if that pic would make its way over here too. I do love that jacket, it's made of rubber I think and when it's clean it's somewhere between pink and orange, I got it in a second hand shop and it's by a designer called Margaret Howell whom I admit I'd never heard of but I think that was a bit of a bargain. In fact where I used to live in Hackney you could sometimes find all kinds of stuff, there was someone who lived nearby who would do like photoshoots I guess and then just leave the stuff on the streets for people to take, my girlfriend found a four hundred pound pair of sunglasses just discarded like that. Fucking crazy.
