clamorous jangling
of city jazz
jars senses
cars jam streets
clarion horns blare
between
metallic frames
and glass
shimmying
with light
cold steel and concrete fingers
point skywards
skyscrapers reflected
in a paperweight
on an empty desk

This is a poem I revived using some of Helena Nelson’s ’32 ways of reviving a rejected poem’.
