belfast confetti

• Suddenly as the riot squad moved in
• It was raining exclamation marks
• Nuts bolts nails car keys
• An asterisk on the map
• This hyphenated line a burst of rapid fire
• I was trying to complete a sentence in my head but it kept stuttering
• Blocked with stops and colons
• I know this labyrinth so well - balaclava raglan inkerman Odessa street
• Every move is punctuated
• Dead end again
• What is my name where am I coming from where am I going
• A fusillade of question marks
