Troglodytes troglodytes
17.7.08
Held half step in Victoria Park, as the hound thrashed clear of the trees. A wide berth, breathe again. Don't let it loose (too late). A knot of warm muscle snuffling, darkening the beds. Recoil at the heat of the thing. Principles. Even dogwalker balks at the drift he has dug. Eruption of beetles uncorked by turned eye.
