A New Country

A New Country
Unrecognisible, let's start a new country
erase the parties we don't like
take a few pictures here, a garrish string of souvenirs
assassinate one or two who blacken our saving graces
bury them in obscure & romantic sounding places
we are not your allies, I am not your friend
this is just where we walked and swam
I did not come to annoint you
but I can see the sallow of disappointment welling in your eyes
so I guess I should slope back over the border
the bosom of Budapest welcomes me
like a kind of divination
the way you did once when you flew in to swallow me
in the throat of summer like a pair of fugitives
overlooking Szchenyi Hid, (momentarily the best view in the world).
