Milan

by Allen Fisher

Milan*
from Properties

When you make violent handbags
the pressure of fear and
cut skirts into car–wash pleats
you mime edges of the austere
a fold in rainfall

Your commitment towards culture
communities your thought nexus
sustains provided damage
an ‘as is’
and ‘as available’

Harmless from collective quiver
derived or caused by
your investment integration
with local materials in a new
tremble a working commitment
