Roy Fisher: June 11, 1930 - March 21, 2017
for Roy
joked Eric got scared in a car wash
vibrations on the material air
wrote graphic in monster throng
composite shovings
straw people jerk
cushion spill
Birmingham thought through and thinking thought with
like Chicago he said
disperse
to a polytheism without gods we have our part
outside flight flaneur
the imbecile false native
at home on an airport screen
comrade
pioneer seer of the unnoticed
who walked straight for the maybe swing of things into place
who kept his eyes at home
we too in the hour of your death
