Invisible Town Pavement: is laid level over history,
Over cobble, over broken vase,
lost money,
Stare into workman’s dig
to see what is lost

Stare into jigger picked
high vis recall
Sweated out the dried carapace
squashed ancient trees
pressured into coal

Pavements are pages to be read. Each page a history inscribed marked cracked weathered. Every street a chapter, town a novel

Pavements are continually rewritten. New images, new characters added, others moved on. You are a character on a pavement.

Sometimes pavements need translating as they may trip up the unwary. Obstacles such as archaic language pedantic terms await
