Steel Mesh - Steve Coel

Here -

Where...shaded front windows blank out screamed memory..

Where...watered gravel road hides handshake meeting..

Where...cheap endeavour is forced..

Where...emotion is mid-air and blank eyed...

Where...coat collar romance is early evening and morning drunk..

is the place language comes to die.


Fingered Paper - Steve Coel

Here -

Where...natural postered walkthrough is dog bagged and puddled.. 

Where...powder lines are littered across cheap vinyl floored food station..

Where...fingered papers lie park benched with scattered community smile..

Where...ideas exist in yesterdays closed library..

Where...running looks like walking..

is the place language comes to die.


Roped Water - Steve Coel

Here -

Where...hammered workplace shoulders scratch tattoo vein..

Where...elevated mirror views reach into roped water..

Where...rapid stone road footstep signals are passed among rivals..

Where...casual shop window seats remain chained to suspicion and small debt..

Where...old newspapers stay untouched..

is the place language comes to die.


Fuzzy Pictures #2

Here -

Where...the slow brickwork slivers of expectation collide with motored demolition..

Where...routine is never obvious..

Where...fuzzy pictures reveal short hard lives scratched on to broken dockside and burnt timber..

Where...homes are splashed across derelict tired hillside..

Where...debt plagues argument like two coins rubbed clear..

is the place language comes to die.
