JD Howse: Extract from ‘Sodomical Practices’

mesh of morning air/ transparent night/ discrete mystery/ how strange, the silence/ Serpentine cease completely/ consoling street; the trees laid out / I love the pictures; time again/ branches lift in mist/ book spread open/ the winter/ so many books/ ailments
