This Is Not An Epiphany E-Book

Beschreibung

Tom Branfoot's This is Not an Epiphany examines inner and outer landscapes that have become inhospitable; where people are 'burnt / by business as usual'. This collection is attentive to shifting landscapes where warehouses spring up on empty land, and the incremental austerities that constitute our living; its lyric absorbs the shocks and crises of survival within them.

near the motorway turnoff’s

midriff of noise

cheek by jowl with a graveyard

they’re planning

to build a warehouse

in the flood plains

23 metres tall 317 metres long

178 metres wide      at night

the graveyard is dark silence

heaps at the stone

perimeter where the world

crouches under trees

scabbed with oakmoss

I am setting you

this very real scene

sodium streetlights

not yet replaced by LEDs

the razed grain fields

skewered with markers

what is left to soak up

rainfall to soak
