The Endgame

by Dominic Carlton Jones

1.
Man walks around in the rage of the night Too many people on the streets begging for change Mick walks slick in his retro Fred Perry garb yet kicks away baskets while Julia does her laundry I feel the rains falling It’s destitute I hear my love calling Her need acute Society society oh where are We now? Isolated individuals Obsessive power packs Walking down Bury market with eyes that do not connect Or the Blackley teens who hate the Poles I see your love stalling You’ve taken root You bait with fight and brawling I’ll take the loot Gonna jump right out of this frame Define.Project and end all your games There are Whorls of Manchester circling out from my centre What it means this this physical place Who can say But her melodies and rain drenched skin will be my tender armoury for the next Incarnation As golden sunlight pours over red brick facade Her soul grows larger in her chest Her voice courses rougher through the grit and coarse Gravel Washing away memories of black smoke and charred dreams I feel the rains falling It’s destitute I hear my love calling Her need acute Gonna jump right out of this frame Define,project and end all my games

Plunge me in the waters And take out the bins A school corridor from 1976 is showing me something A ramsbottom hill Such a steep climb for aging twins Ring dry the towel And listen to the rain The chance to live Has been again From the thorns of bushes From the rolling of the stone Reach out to your horizon And carry Us home Was it all for nothing? Did the sea surge to find no rock to crash against No swirl to magnify it’s movement below Did my heart swing loose For the wind to carry its letter Far and away To be lost Dust scattered As if it mattered Oh no my love Don’t fall Oh no my love Don’t Fall.
