Belfast Confetti
Suddenly as the riot squad moved in, it was raining exclamation marks,Nuts, bolts, nails, car-keys. A fount of broken type. And the explosion.Itself – an asterisk on the map.

I know this labyrinth so well – Balaclava, Raglan, Inkerman, Odessa Street – Why can’t I escape? Every move is punctuated. Crimea Street. Dead end again.A Saracen, Kremlin-2 mesh. Makrolon face-shields. Walkie- talkies. What isMy name? Where am I coming from? Where am I going? A fusillade of question marks.
