B takes a photograph with her eye.
S paints in the crust of salt with a finger of spit.
T wheels the last piano onto the fire.
P throws stones at a rock.
The afternoon turns over in its sleep,
then sleeps.
C trades her kingfisher skull for
a tinned peach. M traps air in a screw-
top jar. F plants the last of his teeth.
L pulls up the ladder,
Secures the hatch.
For Catriona S; adapted from Simon Armitage
