The News from M— by Lytton Smith
Here, where you all are, language is an accessory
to bodies lying in the street, prone in government rooms,
bloated in the waterways. Or language is an accessory
to the refutation of bodies lying etc. This too will pass
as search vessels in the delta pass for smuggling operations
bringing illicit food to refugees being autocued for media
appearances. What commerce would you with us all. What
coverage can you offer for coastal breach, aid refusal,
for the taut sinews and caught breath of seated uprisen monks.
