a white heron once staggered
colette looks god
damn fabulous
on the toilet
the way she works
that seat
its more like watching
brigitte bardot shoot
french new wave
than brit pop piss
shes got this way
of angling up
her knees hook
ing one boot
back
expanding white lace
between her limbs
those limbs
were made for rock
concerts cat
walks
clacton beach
& toilets she
even wipes
w/ style one
handed w/a cigarette
the other hand
pressing graffiti
when colette uses
the toilet before me
it gives me
shivers to watch.
a white heron
once staggered
into my garden,
shook its wings
& was gone.
